Who is Amir Khan

Amir Khan is a British boxer who fought professionally from 2005 until his retirement in 2022.

Nicknamed the King, Khan rose to prominence when he won a silver medal for Great Britain in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

Khan turned professional in 2005 and went on to become a household name in boxing. Khan became a world champion in July 2009 after beating Andriy Kotelnik on points to secure the WBA super-lightweight title and then added the IBF belt two years later by beating Zab Judah.

Khan’s reign as world champion was ended by Lamont Paterson and the Olympic silver medalist made the audacious decision to move up to middleweight to face pound for pound stars such as Saul Canelo Alvarez and Terrence Crawford. Khans suffered a sixth round defeat in both fights.

Khan fought for the last time in February 2022 and fell to a sixth round defeat to long-term rival Kell Brook.

Khan retired with an impressive record of 34 victories and six defeats. The 36-year-old also registered an impressive 21 knockouts during an illustrious career.

Many boxing experts describe him as one of the fastest boxers they have seen during his peak years.

Away from sport, Khan also took part in the 17th series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and finished in 5th place.
