Amir Khan, a former world champion in boxing, took a dramatic turn reminiscent of Ivan Drago as he issued a challenge to YouTuber Jake Paul following the “leak” of his potential fight with KSI.
Quoting the iconic line from Rocky IV’s big Russian character, ‘King’ Khan sent a strong message to both YouTubers: “If he dies, he dies. Then f*** Jake Paul up.”
Jake Paul stirred the conversation on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by hinting at Amir Khan’s comeback fight. Paul’s post read, “KSI vs. Amir Khan I f*** with. Good entertainment.” Although there’s been no official confirmation of Khan’s return, his response on X seemed to confirm the plans.
Amir Khan retired from professional boxing following a significant defeat against Kell Brook. Despite his hiatus, his recent post on social media strongly suggests a return to the ring.
Hints of Amir Khan’s transition to influencer boxing emerged when Slim Albaher, a YouTuber turned boxer, disclosed that Misfits Boxing had proposed a match against Khan. Albaher shared online, “I was offered Amir Khan. One of the best fighters from the UK. They doing anything they can to keep me away from KSI.”
Initially, the plan was for the winner of the Khan vs. Slim fight to challenge KSI, but recent developments indicate a shift in these plans.
Amir Khan, aged 37, boasts an extensive boxing career with 40 professional fights (34-6). However, his last bout against Brook hinted at a decline, marking him as a veteran nearing the end of his career.
