Speaking to talkSPORT, Khan, who has declared he will speak to Brook over his positive test, also revealed that he hopes it won’t tarnish his career, but is pleased to see how efficient the drug testing is.

“I don’t want to hideaway, a lot of people would hideaway when something like this happens,” he said exclusively on talkSPORT Drive.

“I want to come out and talk about it, what’s happened and obviously it upset me more than anyone.

“I’ve been a fighter for like almost 20, 22 years in the sport of boxing at a high level and fighting for world titles, across the world, Vegas and everywhere.

“I don’t want this to tarnish my career in any way, I don’t want people thinking ,’you know what you’re a cheat, you was a cheat’.

“That’s something I would never have done and when they found the substance, which was ostarine, they say it’s a muscle builder which then was in my system towards the fight time.

“After the fight when I got tested, it was shown in there, which is a muscle builder.

“Now, I was making weight 147 pounds or 149 pounds it was, I find it quite hard making the weight so I wouldn’t be taking a muscle thing to keep muscle on because muscle is heavier and it’s going to be a lot harder to make weight. I don’t know how it could have happened.

“If you work it out, it’s like you’ve got an Olympic sized swimming pool and you’ve got like half a grain of salt in there, that’s how much they found.

“In a way, I’m happy because the testing is so good now and they’re catching a lot of fighters and a lot of sportsmen and women out there.

“But the amount that I had in my body was not enough to make me any stronger or any better as a fighter going into that fight.”

Ostarine is a drug designed to have similar effects to testosterone and promotes the building of muscle in the body.

In their statement, UKAD said: “Ostarine is a selective androgen receptor modulator [SARM].

“The substance is listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s [WADA] 2022 Prohibited List as an anabolic agent and is prohibited in sport at all times.”

Khan retired from boxing following his defeat to Brook, ending his career with a record of 34-6.
