    Not before he fights Khan. That is still worth watching as long as it is not ppv.

    But all of Brook's future opponents are gonna aim for his eyes now.

    Well that is better than all of Khan's opponents aiming for his chin.

    The prior damage and surgical repair will always be on his mind. As well as his opponents. Not sure he needs to retire but may want to fight a couple of softer touches next time out.

    Yep he'll be in fear of permanent damage to his eyes but the lure of a Khan fight and a seven figure retirement sum will probably be too much.

    They both need each other now for golden handshake money from the sport.

    And Master it will be ppv

    He definitely needs one or two "safe-ish" comeback fights. I doubt he would've quit if he hadn't suffered the eye damage before, so mentally it's a massive problem for him going forwards. In recent years just look at Matthysse to see what a dodgy eye can do to your confidence.

    I'd definitely retire if I was Brook, he's made himself a Millionare many times over, he's 31, he's had two back to back beatings and suffered the same serious facial injury both times, I can see Ingle sitting him down soon and saying "that's enough son - walk away with your health"

    He says he'll be back but against who?
    The Khan fight doesn't make the money it once could have anymore.

    Brook needs to call it a day

    Then both need to win their next few fights for Summer 2018 showdown.
