Brook was doing an interview with match boxing when Benn walked past and appeared to nudge him in the back.

“Oi,” Brook yelled at Benn, before “The Destroyer” turned around and the pair squared off.

β€œSpecial K” then gave Benn a huge push and security had to step in to keep the men out as they tried to fight at ringside.

Brook is currently retired from boxing, having hung up his gloves after beating longtime rival Amir Khan.

A Brook vs. Benn fight could be an option for both men later this year

That being said, he has already teased a comeback, specifically naming Benn as someone he would want to fight, telling talkSPORT: “I’d like to show this young Benn what time it is.”

Meanwhile, Benn hasn’t fought since April of last year when he knocked out Chris Van Heerden.

He was supposed to face Chris Eubank Jr in October last year, but he failed two drug tests in the build-up and has faced controversy and has been trying to clear himself ever since.

But, Benn and his promoter Eddie Hearn want to see him back in the ring soon, and now after his fight with Brook, this could be the next obvious matchup for the two men.
