Amir Khan: record, next fight and profile →
Ben Shalom of Boxxer has come out swinging after being advised of the recent statements that were made by rival promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom.
Robert Smith, the head of the British Boxing Board of Control, expressed his frustration with the seemingly slow-moving process to resolve cases involving fighters with positive drug tests in the United Kingdom.
As far as Kell Brook is concerned, his animus for Amir Khan is back in full force. British welterweights Brook and Khan were bitter rivals throughout their careers, but they made peace after their highly anticipated showdown one year ago in which Sheffield’s Brook stopped Bolton’s Khan in six rounds.
Promoter Ben Shalom of Boxxer is shocked at the recent news that Amir Khan tested positive for a banned substance in connection with his February 2022 grudge match with Kell Brook.
Kell Brook is furious with the recent news that his career rival, Amir Khan, failed a drug test in connection with their high-profile showdown from February 2022.
Amir Khan is flabbergasted by the revelation that he may now have to spend the rest of his years branded as a drug cheat. The now retired former unified junior welterweight champion from Bolton, England, is concerned his legacy could be ruined for good after it was revealed Tuesday that United Kingdom Anti-Doping slapped him with a backdated two-year ban stemming from a positive drug test administered shortly after his stoppage loss to rival Kell Brook on February 19.
Amir Khan is forced to deal with the repercussions of a past drug testing result, even in retirement. The 2004 Olympic Silver medalist and former unified junior welterweight champion was issued a backdated two-year suspension from all sports due to violation of the UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) rules. The ban stemmed from a positive drug test produced by Khan following his knockout defeat to Kell Brook last February 19. Traces of ostarine—an anabolic agent used to assist muscle growth—were discovered in a post-fight testing sample.
THE TYSON FURY Roadshow is closing in on a North London stop at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, where he will once more come up against his old adversary Derek Chisora, this time for the world heavyweight championship.
Adam Azim doesn’t shy away from the big billing. Sky Sports have been happy to ask the question of whether he is “boxing’s next superstar” prior to his seventh professional bout this weekend. Normally that kind of listing is reserved for boxers who have already claimed Olympic medals.
One of Canelo Alvarez’s former opponents thinks the Mexican superstar will end his storied rivalry with Gennadiy Golovkin in definitive fashion.
