In the last few days, former welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-2, 25 KOs) has received some unwanted publicity. There was numerous headlines claiming that Brook and some of his friends were allegedly intoxicated, smoking and creating problems on a plane bound for Spain.

Over the years, Brook has had his fair share of controversial headlines.

But so has Brook's career rival, former champion Amir Khan (31-3, 19 KOs).

Last week, Khan dropped a bombshell on social media when he announced that he was divorcing his wife and claimed that she was having an affair with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.

Brook's head trainer, Dominic Ingle, admits that his fighter goes through his fair share of rough times outside of the ring - but he says it's still a lot better than where Khan currently is.

“Kell’s life might be a big upside down, but it happens. Look at Amir Khan, it’s imploding on him, why does he wash his dirty linen in public? Kell has low moments. But he is definitely in a better place than Khan," Ingle told The Star.

Brook has been stopped in his last two fights, and suffered fractured orbital bones in his last two fights with Errol Spence and Gennady Golovkin. He is expected to return by the end of the year, as a junior middleweight, but Ingle is not positive on whether or not the Sheffield fighter will return to the ring. 

"I might be wrong but Kell might want to prove to himself or others that he can still do it. But on the other hand, he might think he has had a good run, he’s 31 and made plenty of money.. he’ll deal with it in his own way," Ingle said.

Brook has promised to make some big changes. Ingle doubts those changes are pertaining to the corner.

"I don’t think Kell means that he is thinking of going somewhere else to train, maybe he’s referring to a change in lifestyle, possibly retiring or going up a weight," Ingle said.

"I have trained Kell from a kid to a world champion. It is not something I am concerned about. I don’t go chasing him down. When he is in training camp he does what I tell him 100 percent. We have a mutual agreement that that happens. But outside camp he does what he wants until he rolls into the gym, next time, to prepare for his next fight."
