The two men showcased their talents at the packed shopping centre this afternoon with the crowd welcoming Bolton-native Amir with loud cheers and applause while Sheffield native Brook was met with boos.

Speaking at the open workout, former WBA lightweight champion Crolla said he thinks Khan will edge out his opponent come Saturday, but with the fighters both at the tail-end of their careers, he said there's a chance the loser of the fight could hang up their gloves.
Speaking to the Manchester Evening News he said: "Seeing this public workout and the way it's building up, shows the fight is as big as ever.
"I think on the night Amir will have all the support, but it won't be as hostile as you think for Kell.
"It's so tough to call, if pushed for an answer, I'll lean slightly towards Amir, but seeing Kell today he impressed me with how well he looked.
"But Amir, was happy to show his abs, he's been proud of that and you can tell, he's in the best shape of his whole career.
"There's a chance it could be both fighters last fight on Saturday night.
"Certainly for the loser, unless there's a rematch because it's that type of fight."
Tickets for the bout sold out in just 10 minutes with fans eager witness a clash they pining for over a decade.
Both men played up to the crowd, with Brook acknowledging his villain status at the fight by taking time out of his workout to wave to the crowd.
While Khan also played up the crowd who were screaming his name by showing off his abs and thanked people for coming out to see him.
Speaking on the stage Khan said: "Come Saturday night guys, I'm gonna do you all proud, I'm gonna win this fight and win in good style.
"Kell hasn't got a chance, we've worked very hard and it's the best Amir Khan that's going to come out on Saturday."
