Amir Khan explains why he left professional boxing early | Talking Pints 

Anyone brave enough to step into a boxing ring has my respect.

Amir boxed so many great fighters like Canelo, Maidana, Judah, Crawford etc He never ducked anyone. He deserves all the credit!!!

He was a great fighter in his prime

Absolutely heart felt interview, loved it, he’s an absolute gem 💎!

Junior Olympic Gold Medalist, Junior World Champion, Olympic Silver Medalist at 17, professional World Champion by 22 with 5 defences, a Unified World Champion by 24, fought 16 current or former world champions and beaten 11 of them, 10 world title fights winning 6 of them loads of other international and regional titles such as Commonwealth title and WBC Silver, loads of PPV events in UK and US, broke new ground fighting in Saudi Arabia, fought at the iconic arenas and stadiums in US and UK and has fought some of the pound for pound best & shown a ton of heart and mental character his whole career bouncing back from big defeats to get back to world level and show a lions heart in the ring with true fighting spirit ! British boxing legend !!!

Amir seems like a good guy and positive role model who's using his platform to support and inspire others. 👏 👏 👏

He's so awesome. He took his fair share of hard shots in his career, and he's still seeming mentally sharp and speaking very well. Hopefully it continues throughout the rest of his life.

He is a good man and he is brave he never ducked a fight love him

This guy brought box office superstardom like very few in British history

Amir was a pro for 17 years, so hardly early, he left as had nothing left after a hard career.

Good Interview with a genuine bloke.

Didn't know I needed this collaboration! But loved it👍

I'm not sure you can say Amir left professional boxing early

I still remember him in the olympics. Made his country proud

What a good guy

Always liked amir Showed great courage in going up a number of weights to fight Canelo Great role model

'Let's prove we're not racists by bringing amir khan'

I dont think he left it early imo, hes taken some real bad KOs during a stellar career, the miadana fight took alot out of him, say what you want about his jaw but the mans heart skill and speed was off the charts, im glad he hung up his gloves when he did, nothing left to prove and reached the top, he's up there with the best britians ever seen

Notice how Khan was not asked any political questions.

Excellent career and seems like a lovely chap, fighting in the ring for Britain. Absolutely splendid✔

Great guy Amir. I want him to be a boxing pundit now full time on sky sports boxer and Bt sport.

I liked this 👍 👌

Respect mate.

❤

More surprising than when Punjabi MC featured with Jay Z

I hope Nigel has Naseem Hamed, Chris Eubank, Nigel Benn, and Kelly Maloney on Talking Pints.

I love the shows of Britishers. The anchors ask very mature and amazing questions. In our pakistani shows they asked questions like our teachers use to ask us in Kindergarten.

Amir seems like a nice bloke

Amir is a good man. It took me some time, but I really warmed to him.

There's only one amir khan

He didn't leave boxing early. He did all he could do. It's not like he retired leaving lucrative deals or fights people want to see on the table.

Amir’s a real one

I like amir. Everyone talks about the chin. But he proved at his best he could take a punch (against miedana) wow what a fight that was. Good luck amir

But Sir Farage - he missed the drug ban - I think that is the reason and it was so hush hush

Early? He retired at 35

You have to have the take the right drugs and not get caught

some of these guys in the background can't hide their disgust lmao

Because he was banned from boxing for two years for dropping, unknown to everyone until today.

He didn’t leave early -he stayed too long

Left too early like the prince

Did excellent out if the sport for a good boxer, not an excellent boxer but over achieved and over earned with respect to his ability so well done amir.. job well done

Answer the steroid claims

Right backward crowd in..thinkin 'who da f@@k is dat guy'😂

Do they mention the drug he got caught on?

Probably because his chin had the qualities of a soggy digestive

Coz he was gonna get a two year ban anyway 😅

A great lad

Was it to do with his glass chin?

Average at best, never really dazzled.

Step in kell brook

Clout chaser

Cos he's got bad chin .....

Because he kept doing the turkey 🦃 dance

The glass jaw was the reason.

Shouldn't be be sent home Nigel?

What the hell is Khan doing talking to a guy that would have stopped his parents from coming over? Anyway its just as well he quit since he just got a doping ban following a positive result after losing to Brook

Glass chin, crap boxer and hits like a feather duster i reckon thats why

He left boxing because he kept getting knocked out, simple.

He left early because of a glass chin.LOL

he left because he had a GLASS CHIN

Only 1 reason

Left early? You mean 6 years too late. He should of retired after that Canelo knock out

I always thought he was a sellout, now I know I was 100% right

Left it early? By the end his corner had a dustpan and brush in it to sweep up the glass from his chin off the canvas, he didn't have much choice in the matter.

Deport.

Cause he's got a glass jaw.

Diverse audience 😬

Amir must be desperate if he is giving farage an interview!
