Mum Claire Foden, 41, appeared to push one of the men, who responded by throwing a punch.

A melee ensued, during which Phil could be seen trying to protect her at the Manchester Arena.

Police said no complaints had been made but they were “conducting some further inquiries”.

A source said one of the men who abused Foden had a Liverpool accent, while another group from Bradford repeatedly swore at him.

The trouble flared after Saturday’s sixth-round triumph for Brook.
