Kell Brook's trainer reveals why he decided to retire from boxing after brutal win over Amir Khan

Kell Brook was basically ‘pricing himself out of the job’ after beating Amir Khan, according to his trainer Dominic Ingle.

The recently-retired Brook expressed his interest in facing Chris Eubank Jr having smashed bitter rival Khan to bits in February.

“But we look back on that night with great fondness because it was a tremendous night.

“It was even a tremendous night for Khan really even though he
