Amir Khan has announced his retirement from boxing at the age of 35 after losing to bitter rival Kell Brook earlier this year.
The British star returned to the ring for the first time since 2019 in a hugely successful event against Brook back in February. However he was outclassed on the night by a scintillating display from his rival, which led to huge question marks over the future of his iron square career.
Now Khan has finally closed a chapter on his 27 years in the sport, tweeting: "It’s time to hang up my gloves. I feel blessed to have had such an amazing career that has spanned over 27 years. I want to say a heartfelt thanks and to the incredible teams I have worked with and to my family, friends and fans for the love and support they have shown me."
