Amir Khan is set to make a massive announcement tomorrow in the boxing business that many are speculating could be a big fight and a new promoter.
Khan recently came out of a reality TV show in Australia where he added to his legions of fans around the world.
Outside of Floyd Mayweather, Khan actually has one of the biggest social media followings out of any boxer in the world.
Now he’s got a big surprise up his sleeve in the UK tomorrow saying on social media:
BIG NEWS!
Press conference at 12pm tomorrow in London.
Major announcement regarding my future and return to the ring!
Stay tuned… pic.twitter.com/oqoWHrq8ln— Amir Khan (@amirkingkhan) January 9, 2018
This writer for one suspects that a link up with one Eddie Hearn could be on the cards, something Hearn mentioned last year that he would be more than open to.
It’s the big fights that Khan wants in the UK and with manager Al Haymon who also has worked with Hearn in the past, a new promotional future could very well be on the cards.
Fans have been reacting in their droves to the expected announcement so far:
“Looking to fight 3 times this year”
“Always fought with a bad hand until now”
“Tune up then belt”
“Forget brook, he needs to prove himself”
“You’re gonna see the real Amir Khan”
What have I missed? ?

Has to be a deal with ITV. Brilliant business plan by Khan & ITV to be fair. I Can just imagine the conversation between the ITV chiefs and team Khan. “Amir we will pay you £400k to go in the jungle, build up a non boxing fan base, then once your out line up a 3 fight deal” ?

Always has been and hopefully still is one Britain’s most exciting fighters, hope it’s Broner.
