British world champion Brook was rushed to hospital in Tenerife after an altercation in the early hours of last Thursday.

The 28-year-old is now recovering at his stepfather's home in Sheffield after suffering the wound to his left thigh.

This footage was filmed on Brook's iPhone which he has given to Sportsmail after granting us the only interview since the attack.

Brook - who underwent an operation at Candelaria Hospital in Santa Cruz last week - spoke as he recuperates from the violent attack.

He is expected to wear a cast for at least another month and is unable to defend his IBF world welterweight title in Sheffield on December 6.

Despite fears over his career, Brook is expected to return to the ring again and has been touted as a potential opponent for Amir Khan in a domestic blockbuster at Wembley in May.

Promoter Eddie Hearn told Sportsmail last week: 'I would anticipate that Brook will be fit to fight again in February or March, so I don't think a fight with Khan will be affected.'

He later added: 'The wound looked so bad that I was worried his career would be over.

'But the doctors say the stab wound missed every major artery and he will make a complete recovery. He has been very, very lucky.

'He had been due to be in Las Vegas for the Floyd Mayweather fight before starting his training camp for December 6 in the US. But the plan now is just get him back to full health.'
