Exclusive interview: Former welterweight world champion says boxing saved his life and he is 'at peace' following duel with rival Amir Khan

Brook has made the right decision, a good world champion only lost to the absolute best, sensible not to chase money and lose fights against lesser fighters at the end.
I didn't hear the news so thanks for bringing it to us. A "good" world champion is about right but no more than that, his successful defences were terrible and I don't think he even beat Porter but the judges disagreed and I didn't hear too much complaining from the fans after either so maybe I'll have to watch it back some day but I remember plenty of hugging and grappling from the challenger on away soil.
Anyway he gave a good effort trying to defend it against ESJ in Sheffield and I'll always remember that he absolutely refused to vacate even though he could probably have escaped any serious rep damage if he did given the circumstances at the time.
Right decision to go out on the back of the Khan win though, no way for him to enforce that rematch clause now I guess either.
