As previously reported, Amir Khan will visit Pakistan next week to show his support to those affected by the Peshawar massacre, although he admits that his life will be in danger after speaking out against the Taliban.
Khan, whose parents are from Pakistan and whose brother and fellow boxer Haroon represented the country at the Commonwealth Games, is one of the biggest sporting icons in Asia and visits the subcontinent regularly.
Khan was deeply distressed by the atrocity in Peshawar, where 141 people, mainly children, were killed at an army school in what has been described as the Taliban's deadliest attack to date. The welterweight returned to England on Tuesday having won his fight with Devon Alexander in Las Vegas last weekend, and has confirmed he will travel to Pakistan before the turn of the year in a bid to "make a difference" in the country.
