So you guys could go check out any of amir khan’s fights amir if you’re out there, how you doing it’s neil the deal nice to see you buddy uh love to have you on the show, love to have you on the show um you’re, one of the Guys that i, you know an international star gram that i really looked up to um and uh.
He he never ceased to amaze me with the entertainment value.
So let’s just talk a quick little bit about him, guys uh.
He was born.
He was born in uh december 8, 1986 in bolton greater manchester england, greater manchester england.
So if you know anything about greater manchester england, graham yeah, it’s a very tough neighborhood, actually uh.
You know from what the research that i’ve done over the years that there’s soccer fans there that can get pretty rowdy.
There’S a there’s.
Some.
You know the old quadrafini, album type things uh guys on scooters.
It’S it’s a very interesting area, greater uh manchester in england and uh.
I understand it’s not easy to grow up there, so you grew up in a really tough neighborhood uh.
He fought in four weight categories.
He fought now lightweight late, welterweight welterweight middleweight, so he fought in four categories: uh, he had a record of uh 39 fights total, he won 34 and he lost five all right.
He had 21 kos, so he had punching power uh every time.
I saw him pretty much.
I saw him probably 10 times he knocked the guy out so and he was very flamboyant doing it.
So he’s a really fun individual to watch, fight, uh and uh entertainment value was close to a 10.
, so check him out.
He’S uh really really amazing.
Apparently he started boxing at 11 years old and he won.
He won a lot of medals as a child.
He was very uh, talented uh.
He won the 2003 uh junior olympic gold medal uh.
He had titles as as an amateur uh left right and center.
You know what i mean, so it doesn’t have to create 110 fights.
That’S a big amateur career.
Graham, you know what i mean: 110 fights um, he had 101 wins.
He had over a hundred wins out of 110 fights so, and this is his amateur career, so he was, he was a phenomenal uh, uh, amateur and uh.
He just catapulted that amazingness into his pro career and and and was stratospheric.
He was like amazing anytime.
You saw me he was amazing, so uh anyways, we’ll just move on here – notable fights, the one that i really liked was uh.
He fought a guy named victor ortiz, uh and uh.
I believe he knocked him out in the second round.
Something like that was a great victor.
Ortiz was one of the the guys that i remember um, he debuted in july 2005 uh.
He won his first 18 fights 18 straight, wins just reeled him off, bang, bang, bang, bang 18 wins and i just kept watching him going holy cow.
This guy can’t lose like he wasn’t, wasn’t even close right.
He was literally wiping the table clean, so uh.
He won the uh intercontinental light heavyweight wb uh, light welterweight wbo title.
He also won the international lightweight title wba.
He also won the wba light welterweight title so there’s three world titles right there that he had and he retained those titles and then he lost the title.
So he went back and forth and back and forth that’s what i remember: he’d win the title.
A couple of defenses lose the title.
A few more, you know a few more fights get another shot win the title defend it three four times lose the title right.
So he kept doing this back and forth back and forth, but i mean 34 wins and only five losses.
So really you know he only lost title fights.
You know what i mean, graham, he wasn’t losing anything other than back and forth with the title fights.
That’S all uh.
His last fight was against an australian guy named billy dibb.
He won uh by tko in the fourth round and uh.
He wanted the vacant.
Wbc uh international welterweight title the international, not the intercontinental the international, so he went out with a bang.
He was a good fighter, amazing um he’s a philanthropist and uh.
He has the amir khan foundation and he’s very well respected in the boxing community.
He’S many many awards and we all loved you amir.
