Amir Khan rules out becoming boxing trainer after announcing retirement

Amir Khan has admitted he doesn't have the patience to pursue a career as a coach after retiring from boxing last month.

The former super-lightweight world champion has hung up the gloves after being stopped by long-time rival Kell Brook in February, but plans to remain in the sport. He has teased a possible exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather in the Middle East, and will also look to move into promoting and managing fighters.

Khan has promoted small events in the past, including a charity YouTube boxing event which featured Adam Saleh, Yusef 'Fousey' Erakat and Slim Albaher at York Hall. And he has added a few names to his management stable including former England amateur champion Tal Singh.
