Amir Khan: record, next fight and profile →
Former world champion Amir Khan, 36-years-old, believes there is "interest" in a fight with eight division champion Manny Pacquiao. Khan and Pacquiao had been sparring partners during a period of time when both were trained by Freddie Roach.
According to former world champion Amir Khan, he 'did not want to be there' during his last year's grudge match against Kell Brook. Back in February of 2022, Brook battered and stopped Khan in a one-sided fight. Khan would later announce his retirement from the sport.
Amir Khan says he can’t be coaxed to become an active prizefighter again, but he may make an exception for the right opponent. The former 140-pound titlist retired last year upon getting stopped by rival countryman Kell Brook in six rounds.
There was nothing more for Amir Khan to accomplish. His near 20-year career consisted of world title wins, fame around the globe, and of course, life-changing money. So while losing via sixth-round knockout to longtime rival Kell Brook wasn’t the ideal way for him to hang up his gloves, he did so anyway.
Retired welterweight Amir Khan continues to maintain that his positive drug test last year was a complete accident. It was revealed earlier this year that Khan, the former junior welterweight titlist from Bolton, England, tested positive for a banned performance-enhancing drug. The test was administered immediately after his sixth-round knockout loss to
Former world champion Amir Khan has warned Terence Crawford to avoid making the same mistake that he once made. Back in 2016, Khan jumped up in weight to face Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez at a catchweight of 155-pounds. At the time, Khan was competing as a welterweight and Canelo was heading up to middleweight.
According to former world champion Amir Khan, there is no doubt that Terence Crawford is the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world. There is heavy debate regarding the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world - with Crawford and four division champion Naoya Inoue as the two guys being consistently pushed for the top spot.
Kell Brook is still furious from the revelation of Amir Khan’s positive test for a performance-enhancing drug. The retired former welterweight champion from Sheffield, England, was left aghast by the news earlier this month that Khan popped positive for ostarine immediately after their last year, which Brook won by sixth-round stoppage.
Amir Khan wants to make sure the next generation of fighters steer clear of his latest faux pas. The former 140-pound titlist has come under fire recently after it was announced by United Kingdom Anti-Doping this week that he had tested positive for the banned performance-enhancing drug ostarine. The test was administered right after Khan’s stoppage loss to rival Kell Brook last year in Manchester.
Amir Khan has offered claims regarding his positive drug test that appear to be at odds with what United Kingdom Anti-Doping has presented to the public.
