The British boxer Amir Khan, after the defeat by his compatriot Kell Brook in Manchester, the former champion, indicated that he would end his career.
Khan won Olympic silver at the age of 17 in 2004 and world championships at the age of 22.
I had 40 fights, won two world titles, fought in America and around the world. I have to sit down and talk to my family, but I’m nearing the end of my career. I have no more love for boxing. There is no more excitement in the ring that drives me. Maybe it’s a sign that I should finish. But we will see, “said Khan.
I have always said that I do not want boxing to retire me, but that I want to retire from boxing before that. I achieved more than I expected. Maybe I reached the peak of my career too early. I was at the Olympics at the age of 17, and I won the world title at the age of 22. I am now 35. I have been boxing for a long time. I am an old man now. I want to spend time with my children and family. I want to meet my family, I want to take them to school, to be such a father. ” Brook said he would discuss the future of his career with his family.
“I have always wanted to fight Amir. I think this match is the icing on the cake for me. Now I can be at peace with myself and my career. Do I want to continue? Today I feel like a 23-year old. “I will talk to my family and see if I want to continue,” Brooke said.
