in coming tweets about the amazing achievements and career of @amirkingkhan
1) You don't be chief support on a Mayweather card or headline on a Cinco De Mayo weekend against a Mexican fighter unless you are from the very top tier in boxing.

2) This along with the world titles and the silver medal at the age of 17 are all great achievements in their own right, however what's far greater then any of these in my opinion is the inspiring of a whole generation of fighters coming through.

3)There are at least a dozen of asians that have turned professional and are currently with top promoters such as Matchroom Boxing, Frank Warren, probellum, and other reputable stables.

4)
Aside from these there are literally thousands of young Asian kids on the amateur scene. A lot of the credit for this must go to Amir in my opinion.This amazing ripple does also create further opportunities and we need more of our asians to undertake their coaching badges

5)In fairness Khan beat more world champions than Hatton 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
unified world champion, two weight world champion. Done all right for having a so called "glass chin."

6)
The lad fought 12'actual or former World Champions during his career Not bad for a lad from Bolton. 🥊. who started at the age 0f 8 when his dad took him to a gym due to him being hyperactive .

7)Khan's real victory is already there. In the tangible impact and the legacy that he has already knowingly or unknowingly created.

In other words, this man PIONEERED. He forged a path of POSSIBLE for others, that are now following. That is Success.

8)On an identity level, young men of British Pakistani heritage got an 'acceptable' route to express their masculinity and we must recognize the role Khan played in this.

9 ) Look across the swathes of young asian fighters, fight gyms with visibly more inclusive membership providing opportunities for fresh talent from different backgrounds are now on the rise..(in what has been a white and black working-class male privilege)

10 )A great Ambassador to the Sport of Boxing. Achieved so much in his life and always helping others. A good friend who has always shown love and support. Looking forward to working and helping the Youth off the streets and into the Boxing gym 🥊

@amirkingkhan has done well for himself and sport. Problem with the haters is that they don’t actually know what it’s like to step in to a ring and fight until they do they’ll not appreciate what it takes. Respect to #amirkhan

To put this into context, Khan is three years older than Eubank Jr.
Khan won a world title three years before Eubank Jr even turned pro.
Those slating Khan have no business commenting on boxing. He was, in his day, superb.

We watch boxing the sport for entertainment. @amirkingkhan delivered that more than ten fold in every fight he had.. Win or lose he was fantastic value for money. He is and always will be a credit to British boxing.

Silver medalist at age 17, @amirkingkhan was the youngest ever British professional world champion winning titles twice, headlined Vegas, beaten & fought boxing world champions, true representative of British boxing. A great boxing legacy to be proud of .

Superstar in my book in and out of the ring. Showed real class when he lost to kell accepted the defeat with dignity and didn’t rush out of the ring. Spoke well after about Brook too. End of an era for me you always got excitement when Amir fought, no one put on a show like him

not many brits will ever fight at MSG,MGM GRAND , MGM T MOBILE ARENA ,MANDALAY BAY ,
LEFT TO PONDER THE DIFFERENT OUTCOME OF HIS CAREER AND LEGACY IF HE WASN'T ROBBED IN WASHINGTON BY A DRUG CHEAT @amirkingkhan

Most shisha places in the uk had thier best nights when @amirkingkhan fought credit to @W4SYY who started this trend with the original cafe lounge in batley
