Amir Khan’s fight with Kell Brook next month will be the final fight of the 2004 Olympic silver medallist's career. In a recent Instagram Live session, Khan answered multiple questions to his legion of followers and the subject of retirement was raised.
Following a 16-year career that has seen Khan go from teenage prospect to world champion, the Bolton fighter has arguably been Britain’s most entertaining fighter since turning pro in 2005. Memorable battles with Willie Limond, Marcos Maidana, and Lamont Peterson saw Khan’s profile soar but now it looks like his race is on the final lap.
"I am going to win the fight 100 per cent. People ask me what I'm doing after this fight. I'm done, man,” said Khan when speaking to his 1.4m followers on the popular social media site. Whether Khan sticks to his statement remains to be seen, but as it stands, his long-awaited clash with Brook could be his last.
