Amir Khan's promoter Frank Warren has come out in defense of the young star following comments made by a deported cleric in today's Sun.
"Like any decent person in this country, I am shocked and annoyed by the comments directed at Amir," said Warren.
"Amir is the face of modern multi-cultural Britain and, as a premier sportsman, the young generation look up to him as a role model."
"He likes to keep his religion private and personal but I know that he is extremely proud to be British and represent his country in the boxing ring and he is equally as proud of his Pakistani heritage." [details]
