Yeah that’s the thing with boxing, it’s their promoter that made them do the cocky stuffs & talk shit just to heat up the situation & sell the fight

One of my favourite Overlap interviews. Amir Khan has the heart of a lion. He NEVER ducked any opponent. LEGEND!!

Honestly I’d never heard about his hand injury, just heard people slating him for not fighting. Amir was one of the first boxers I watched and me made me love boxing. I remember watching him knock somebody out on his birthday with my mom when I was like 8.

This is the first time I've seen a open book type interview with Amir Khan, its really surprised how honest but vulnerable this lad is after how he's often betrayed in the media etc.... I take my hat off to the lad for all he's achieved and going to achieve going forward. Another quality interview, really enjoyed thus one. 👌

Watched Amir from the Olympics through every fight of his professional career. He was a credit to the sport. I hope he finds a place for himself post boxing.
