Amir Iqbal Khan is a descendant of the Janjua Ranjput royal warrior family from Pakistan, though he was born in Bolton, England in 8 December 1986 and is currently 36 years old.
If people actually take 30 seconds to read the report, it’s clear it was unintentional. Tested negative 3 times, 0.5mg in his system, backed up by experts and accepted by UKAD. 1000 times less than the amount to have any effect on physical performance?

He began boxing competitively when he was a student in elementary school. He had received many honours by the time he was 11 years old, including the Junior Olympics Gold Medal in 2003 and multiple Junior ABA titles.

Amir Khan’s professional life
To begin his professional career, he won the Commonwealth Lightweight title by defeating Martin Kristjansen in 2008. After a few more wins, he fired Oliver Harrison, his seasoned coach.
As he later began working out with Jorge Rubio, the two did not get along. He eventually began working out with Freddie Roach and found his rhythm again. Throughout the rest of his professional tenure, he won fights, which increased his pay per fight.
Amir Khan’s opponent on December 11, 2010, was the Argentinean Marcos Maidana, who later asserted that this was probably his finest victory. For the fourth fight, he was defending his WBA world super-lightweight title.
The Boxing Association of America called it “Fight of the Year,” and it lived up to the hype. Khan got the fight underway right away by brutally knocking out “El Chino” in the first round.
The battle continued, though, and in the tenth round, Maidana stunned Khan with a potent overhand right. But Amir persisted and finished one of the hardest games of his career.
Khan was declared the winner by a majority vote after the judges awarded him scores of 114-111, 114-111, and 113-112.
On May 13, 2022, Amir Khan declared his retirement from boxing official. His record is 34-6 with 21 KOs.
