Congratulations to both Air Khan and Taz Khan. Personally, I know Amir is a huge inspiration to the youths of that region and the whole world as well.
I feel like he WBC made the right choice. Amir Khan is definitely gong to help move the Middle East boxing world in the right direction.
He is going to inspire and encourage a lot of upcoming boxers to work even harder.
This means he will not be fighting again, right?
I dont think he will ever fight again. He will be promoting his first card in Islamabad on October 3.

Thanks for letting a brother know. I'm rooting for the success of Amir Khan because I know he is genuine about growing the sport in that region.
The WBC definitely made the right decision by appointing Amir Khan as the Lead-man in the Middle East region. The initiative this guy has shown is outstanding.
It is just crazy that they decided to make his uncle the Vice President. I guess the WBC governing body saw the potential of the Khan family in developing boxing in that region.

There are rumors going around that Amir Khan is leaving Bolton for Dubai. Of course he has shunned the claims but most people think the rumors are true.
He has been known to frequently visit Dubai for vacation with his family so I would not be surprised if this was true.

You touch down in Dubai and it feels lie you have literally teleported into the future. Beautiful place to live. It just sucks that it a place for the rich only.
I would love to get a chance to visit Dubai even if it is just for a while. That place is as beautiful as they come.
Amir Khan was the best bet ever! Can't wait to see how it turns out post pandemic.
