Amir Khan Confirms He Is Content in Retirement

After a distinguished 17-year career, British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan has definitively addressed speculation about a potential return to the ring.

Khan (34-6, 21 KOs), a former light-welterweight world champion and Olympic lightweight silver medalist from the 2004 Athens Games, last competed against Kell Brook, a fight he lost in six rounds.

The 38-year-old athlete had previously hinted at a possible comeback, with rumored matchups against figures like Jake Paul and KSI. However, a bout with Manny Pacquiao was his preferred choice, and he recently stated that the Filipino boxer had offered him the opportunity.

In a recent discussion, the Olympic medalist clarified his position, stating firmly that he is ‘happily retired’.

He mentioned that a potential offer from Turki Alalshikh might be the only thing that could tempt him out of retirement.

“I am happily retired and enjoying life. I have no desire to return unless there is an incredibly substantial offer. Perhaps Turki Alalshikh is the only one who could bring me back. I’ve been observing all the major fights, but I’ve made peace with my decision and am enjoying the sport from a relaxed position now.”

Amir Khan believes he has accomplished a great deal in boxing and is now directing his attention to his AK promotions venture.

“I am proud of my achievements and what I’ve gained from boxing. I’m not sure how I could improve upon it. I think I’ve achieved everything I set out to do. Now, I want to focus on the promotional aspects of the sport.”
