Amir Khan boxing news
Exhibition bouts featuring big names are still proving to be a hit and a thing of interest. Sure, these events are not to everyone’s taste, yet others do enjoy seeing a big name/former champ back in there, putting on a show.
Over the past few months, or even more recently than that, we have seen four big to absolutely huge names from the sport of boxing announce their retirement.
Amir Khan has officially announced his retirement. Just days after bitter rival Kell Brook announced his retirement, Khan has also done the smart thing.
Kell Brook has proven he is one of the smart ones. By retiring as he has at age 36, this after winning the only big fight that was still out there for him, against long-time bitter rival Amir Khan, Brook goes out in good health, his reputation intact.
Welterweight contender Florian Marku (11-0-1, 7 KOs) says he wants Amir Khan, Kell Brook, or Conor Benn in his next fight after his fourth-round knockout victory over Chris Jenkins (23-5-2, 8 KOs) last Saturday night at the Newcastle Arena, Newcastle, England.
Amir Khan was on the rebound since being chinned, in a mere 54 seconds, by an unknown slugger named Breidis Prescott.
Kell Brook was a guest at the British Boxing Board of Control awards ceremony yesterday, and the former IBF welterweight champ was asked, quite incredibly, about the possibility of a return fight between he and Amir Khan.
Though it would shock many people if it happened, nothing, not even a return fight between Kell Brook and Amir Khan, can be ruled out in today’s world.
It would be nothing short of shocking if Kell Brook and Amir Khan fought a return fight – but it could happen.
Unless he surprises us all, Amir Khan will not fight again. Losing and losing badly to arch-rival Kell Brook in their massively long-awaited showdown, Khan looked a most dejected figure afterwards.
