Former boxing champ Kell Brook stated Thursday he “messed up” … asking forgiveness to his household and fans after a video revealed him appearing to snort white powder at a current celebration.
The clip, acquired by The Sun and published last month, appeared to reveal Kell at a Sheffield home leaning over a glass coffee table and putting a line of the compound through a straw and up his nose.
In the video, Brook — using a Joe Louis tee shirt — can be heard stating “nice” … prior to commemorating with some shadow boxing.

Initially, his supervisor, Terry Thompson, informed The Sun it was “a joke” — however Brook released a mea culpa over everything on Thursday on his social networks pages.
“I messed up,” the 36-year-old stated. “I hold my hands up and want to apologize to my family, gym, friends, and fans.”
“It’s no secret that I struggle with mental health and I’m finding retirement hard.”
The British fighter, who won the IBF welterweight title in 2014, included, “I’m actively seeking the help I need to get me on the right path. And again apologize for the hurt and disappointment I’ve caused.”
The 40-3 fighter retired in May 2022 — a couple of months after knocking out Amir Khan in the sixth round at the AO Arena in Manchester England.
However, Brook wish to go back to the ring, according to his promoter Ben Shalom, and was just recently called out by middleweight fighter Liam Smith to come out of retirement.
