The former IBF welterweight champion says he would return from retirement for Chris Eubank Jr, but only if promoters meet his asking price
Kell Brook says he would consider ending his retirement to face Chris Eubank Jr if the financial terms were right. The former IBF welterweight champion believes their long-running rivalry still makes the fight worthwhile, even after more than four years out of the ring.
The comments resurfaced after Pro Boxing Fans shared the interview on X, prompting many fans to question whether the 40-year-old should be considering another comeback after spending most of the past six years in retirement.
Brook has boxed only twice since the start of 2020, defeating Mark DeLuca in February 2020 before ending his rivalry with Khan two years later. He has repeatedly spoken about enjoying retirement, but admitted there is one fight that could still tempt him back into the ring.
“Absolutely. You know, if the right offer comes, I will fight because we’ve got history, Chris Eubank and I,” Brook said to Boxing King Media.
“The offer still stands. If we can be sensible and give me what I’m worth, that fight can happen. If it don’t, I’m happy.”
Brook and Eubank Jr have been linked for years but never reached an agreement despite periodic interest from promoters. Their rivalry intensified after Eubank Jr defeated Brook’s longtime rival Liam Smith twice and continued with verbal exchanges outside the ring.
Whether there is genuine demand for the contest is another matter. Brook would be 41 before he could realistically return, while Eubank Jr remains an active contender pursuing one final run at world level.
Unless a promoter is willing to make Brook an offer he considers worthwhile, his comments appear more likely to remain hypothetical than lead to a comeback.
