Amir Khan is looking for love. No, that’s not to foreshadow his next involvement in a reality TV show, following his stint on I’m A Celebrity... and the success of Meet The Khans. Rather, Amir Khan is still seeking the adulation of a generation whose hearts he captured at the Athens Olympics, and whose love has wavered in the two decades since.
Fight For Your Life is the new autobiography from the 2004 silver medalist and former world champion, released a year on from his retirement. Ghost-written by John Woodhouse and published by Century at Penguin Random House, the book is split into 12 chapters – ‘12 rounds’, as Khan portrays them. Across the course of these rounds, Khan revisits his upbringing in Bolton, his introduction to boxing, achieving darling status as a 17-year-old, and various defining moments that followed and crafted his complicated legacy.
