Last month The Sun revealed footage showing him snorting the powder at a party in his home.
He since wrote on social media: “I messed up, I hold my hands up & want to apologise to my family gym friends & fans.
“It’s no secret that I struggle with mental health & I’m finding retirement really hard.
“I’m actively seeking the help I need to get me on the right path. Again i apologise for the hurt I’ve caused.”
Footage shows Brook bending over a glass-topped coffee table.
More white powder is heaped next to a plastic “wrap” and the star — nicknamed Special K — mumbles “nice”.
The 36-year-old appears the worse for wear as he shadow boxes in front of a framed portrait of him having won the IBF welterweight title in 2014.
His manager Terry Thompson insisted it was “a joke”.
Brook wore a T-shirt featuring boxing legend Joe Louis at the Sheffield party.
A source said: “He had a bit of a gathering at his house where people were drinking spirits and smoking.
“He was snorting white powder.”
Wife Lindsey, 35, who was often seen in the ring after his fights, and their three children were believed to be away.
Brook’s last bout was almost a year ago when he beat bitter rival Amir Khan.
Brook announced his retirement in May after winning 40 of 43 professional fights.
But he said recently he would return to the ring for the right offer.
He has been touted as an opponent for light-middleweight Liam Smith who beat Chris Eubank Junior last weekend.
