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.
