Amir Khan to rebuild Pakistani school

Amir Khan, the British boxer and descendant of Pakistan grandparents has revealed his intentions to rebuild the Pakistani school in Peshawar which was mercilessly attacked by the terrorists on 16th December leaving 132 children dead. He says that he want to rebuild this school as a role model.

While everyone else contemplates a turkey hangover, the welterweight will head east to Pakistan between Christmas and New Year’s Day, to visit extended family and help rebuild the Pakistan’s shattered morale, reports the Daily Mail. 

Khan has donated the £30,000 pair of shorts he wore in last weekend’s victory in Las Vegas against Devon Alexander to help rebuild the school and ignores the potential personal danger in speaking out.

‘They were innocent kids, they had nothing to do with anything and the Taliban killed them. They are killing their own people,’ he says without hiding his emotions.


‘Setting the teachers on fire in front of these kids, these people are ruthless and have no brains, and I can’t believe they would do something like this. It upsets me and it’s disgusting to see. ‘You never think people would be so sick to do something like that.

Amir Khan did play well in the first round, but then he was floored thrice in the next three rounds as American Garcia exploited the Englishman's naive tactics to keep his WBC light-welterweight title and snatch his opponent's WBA belt.

It was Khan's second straight defeat following his loss to Lamont Peterson and the third in his career, having also tasted defeat at the hands of Breidis Prescott.

Carl Froch believes Amir Khan should consider retirement after being stopped in the fourth round by Danny Garcia in Las Vegas.

Khan and Peterson to meet again on March 31, 2012

Brit/Pak boxer Amir Khan a.k.a King Khan will be set in ring with Peterson, the current IBF and WBF title holder on March31st 2012 in a rematch.

Amir Khan lost to Peterson last weekend losing both his titles on a split decision by the judges. Amir Khan was of the view the referee(Cooper) was not being fair, ultimately deducting two points for pushing without warning. According to Khan he was ultimately playing with two people in the ring, Peterson and the referee. Amir Khan after the match readily demanded for the rematch.

Khan's Hall of Fame trainer, Freddie Roach, didn't hold back in his criticism of Cooper, who declined to talk after the fight.

"(Cooper) did a terrible job. A referee shouldn't decide fights," Roach said. "He's not a judge. He made himself a judge tonight. He missed a knockdown. The first knockdown (ruled a slip) was clearer than the second one. And then he took two points away for nothing and didn't give warnings. This is like amateur refereeing. A referee at this level of competition shouldn't make those mistakes. He decided the fight, not the judges. The referee took it out of the judges' hands."
