Brook added: “I think my mojo is back, I’m feeling fantastic and I’m enjoying training.

“Obviously everybody and their dog is talking about it and I’m just excited. I know that Conor Benn is banging the drum for some big fights.

“This is why I love the sport; I love the challenge, he looked fantastic, sensational in his last fight against Chris Algieri.

“We’ve sparred together and we are very good friends as well, but obviously this is a sport and it’s about going out there to the boxing fans who pay and watch that I believe that I’m the best.

“I believe that it would be a fantastic match-up, me and Benn.”
