“I’ve got three beautiful kids, he’s gone in there to hurt me on some drug that he’s been on. It’s a f***ing joke.”
Brook, a former world champion himself, dismissed the idea that Khan ingested the substance unknowingly.
He said: “It’s the same thing with everyone that’s been caught out; ‘They didn’t know.’ It’s not about, ‘He didn’t know’. You know it’s in your system, you’ve gone in there [with] bad intentions to hurt me bad and win the fight at all costs – which has come back and bit him in the a*** bad.
“It could be a completely different story. I could be in a wheelchair now, with him seriously destroying my life or killing me, making me crippled forever.
“Because I won, people are gonna forget about it. He came into that ring cheating, trying to boost himself up, trying to get the advantage on me – instead of doing it in a 12-week camp naturally. He’s taken drugs to enhance his performance, so he can seriously hurt me in that ring, [which] you can legally get killed in. He needs to pay bad.
“If he was kind of thinking of coming back, he should never fight again, with what he’s tried to do in that ring against me. It just makes me think of my three kids, that their dad might have been impaired – not the same guy.”
Brook also insisted that the episode will affect Khan’s legacy in the eyes of the public.
“He’s gonna have to live with that,” Brook said of the Olympic silver medalist. “People are gonna think: ‘How long’s he been on these drugs?’ Of course it’s gonna tarnish his career terribly. He’s gone in there, got an absolute pasting, hammering. Imagine if he weren’t on them drugs, he probably would’ve gone out in the first round. He were on all these drugs, and he still took a massive hiding.
