Karachi:Renowned British boxer of Pakistan origin, Amir Khan has requested overseas Pakistanis to donate to Prime Minister Imran Khan Corona Relief Fund.
Amir Khan said that overseas Pakistanis should donate to PM Corona Relief Fund and added he would also be doing it. He also praised Imran Khan for taking some good measures in response to the devastating pandemic.
He said that he wanted to come to Pakistan and supervise relief work by himself but the lockdown has prevented him from doing so yet he has been able to distribute 10,000 ration bags in Pakistan.
But he was critical of Director General of Pakistan Sports Board (PSB) and accused him of hindering the relief work conducted by his people, who were gathering ration bags at PSB Academy.
However, he praised Fehmida Mirza and Zulfi Bukhari for facilitating his team to conduct the relief work smoothly.
Meanwhile, he said that he was thinking of retiring next year. The 33-year-old added that he would be willing to start boxing academy in every city of Pakistan if government extend a helping hand.
He further said that he sees bleak future for amateur boxers however, professional boxers can earn well.
However, Amir Khan doesn’t want his son to take up boxing when grows up as boxers have to endure a lot of injuries.
