No one in his family had taken up the sport prior, but his dad dorian senior was avid boxing fan, who identified his son’s natural ability and made it his mission to help his son explore these new talents at just four years old khan visited his first gym.
The father and son duo began their journey in the sport together, and this bond had stood at the test of time, as dorian senior has taken on the role of head trainer and has guided his son’s career since uh with a few years of time, khan jr Was fully devoted to the sport spending countless hours in the gym and at home learning the art of boxing and further developing his skill set in preparation for the start of his career.
You know they would also take trips to las vegas to work with other coaches and fighters, including the late great former two-time world champion and renowned trainer roger black mama mayweather uh in search of experience.
That would enhance khan’s skill set khan participated in his first amateur match at the age of eight.
The minimum age allowed for competition in the us, not long after it became apparent that he was at, was levels above the rest of his competition and easily climbed his way to the top of the division rankings throughout his amateur career khan, captured 13 national championships.
