Amir Khan (boxer)

Amir Iqbal Khan (born 8 December 1986) is a British former professional boxer who competed from 2005 to 2022. Born and raised in Bolton, Khan began to box competitively at the age of 11. He rose to fame during the 2004 Summer Olympics, where he won a silver medal in the lightweight division and became at the age of 17, Britain's youngest boxing Olympic medalist. He turned professional in 2005. In 2007, he was named ESPN prospect of the year. He later became one of the youngest ever British professional world champions, winning the World Boxing Association (WBA) title at the age of 22. Khan won the Commonwealth lightweight title in 2007. A year later, he won the WBO Inter-Continental lightweight title when he beat Martin Kristjansen via TKO. Later that year, he would lose the title to Breidis Prescott via KO, in one of the biggest upsets in British boxing history. His next three fights saw him win the vacant WBA International lightweight title, the vacant WBO Inter-Continental lightweight title, and the WBA light-welterweight title. He made his US debut against Paulie Malignaggi in May 2010, where he retained his WBA light-welterweight title. In 2011, he won the IBF light-welterweight title when he beat Zab Judah via KO in the fifth round. In July 2012, he lost the WBA (Super) light welterweight title against Danny Garcia. Later that year, he won the vacant WBC Silver interim light-welterweight title when he beat Carlos Molina via RTD. In 2014, he beat Luis Collazo for the WBA International and vacant WBC Silver welterweight titles. Between 2016 and 2019, Khan challenged for the WBC, The Ring middleweight titles and the WBO welterweight title. In July 2019, he won the vacant WBC International welterweight title when he beat Billy Dib via TKO in the fourth round. Known for his hand speed and accuracy, Khan is regarded as one of the most successful British boxers of all time. He is credited with popularising boxing amongst British Pakistanis and British Asians, as well as inspiring South Asian involvement in all aspects of British boxing. Outside of boxing, he is a philanthropist with his own charity organisation, Amir Khan Foundation. He is also a promoter and sponsor, the owner of Khan Promotions and Pakistan's Amir Khan Academy, and a co-owner of India's Super Fight League (MMA) and Super Boxing League. As a celebrity, he has participated in several reality television and game shows. In 2017, he appeared on the seventeenth series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, where he was the 7th celebrity to be voted out.
