The Sheffield man was in talks to face Benn right after defeating Amir Khan in February 2022, which sparked his retirement soon after.

Brook was captured in sparring gear hitting a heavy bag in the famous Wincobank gym in Sheffield.

Sparking an online row, Benn, 26, commented: "Last time we tried to make the fight he chose retirement instead.

"Must have been that sparring session…"

Brook, 36, responded: "Who are you kidding you're the one who cut the sparring short don’t flatter yourself p***y."

Benn replied: "Stop talking s***. You know the footage begs to differ!"

And Brook hit back: "Put it out then let’s see it and don’t just put snippets on we want it all babi."

The ex-IBF champ announced his retirement after beating long-time nemesis Khan, 36, ending almost two decades of rivalry.

But Brook has considered a return ever since and is now back training.

Benn meanwhile is set to return in June following a doping scandal that has kept him out of the ring and fighting for his reputation.

He tested twice for female fertility drug clomifene in the build-up to his catchweight contest with Chris Eubank Jr, 33, which was later axed.

The British Boxing Board of Control cancelled the bout and have since been embroiled in a spat with Benn, who is without a license.

Welterweight Benn provided a 270-page document to the WBC, who work with Voluntary Anti-Doping Association.

The WBC found "no conclusive evidence" that the boxer intentionally cheated and placed him back in the rankings.

Benn as a result is able to box abroad if he is licensed and is currently in talks to fight Manny Pacquiao, 44, in Abu Dhabi.
