Amir Khan has a career that many boxers aspire to.
17-year-old Olympic silver In his 20s, he holds the unified world title. Unforgettable nights with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Zab Judah, and Marcos Maidana.
And then, years later, his own BBC documentary earned him respect for his contribution to “strawberry-gate,” the title of his own.
The former champion has now embarked on a new adventure by swapping jungle antics and fight nights.
On Nigeria’s Independence Day, when the streets of Lagos are filled with parades, music, and national pride, Khan will debut boxing at the top level for the first time on the nation’s Independence Day.
“You can picture the hype,” she said. From his Dubai home, Khan claims, “everyone will want to come and have a day off.”
The event, known as Chaos in the Ring, is being promoted by African-based Balmoral Group Promotions and Khan’s AK Promotions.
Khan anticipates Lagos to be even bigger than his previous home country, which came after his debut in Ghana earlier this year.
He claims, “I’m still learning the game, but I want to move quickly and learn quickly.” “Why Africa?” It’s an untapped market, in my opinion.
A key component of Khan’s promotion is returning fighters to their original ways.
Ohara Davies, a Londoner, boxed in Ghana, where his parents are from earlier this year.
Khan himself had no idea how to do it. He has always praised his heritage and the friendship it has created with fans in South Asia as the son of Pakistani parents who immigrated to the UK.

Khan acknowledges that the transition to a promotion has been difficult.
He had anticipated shaky negotiations, but he soon realized how difficult it would be because fighters demanded inflated purses, bluffing, and brinkmanship.
He claims, “It’s like playing chess.” He gains perspective and hope from his own career.
Khan became one of the few British boxers to truly break into the mainstream, appearing on television shows from Las Vegas to Madison Square Garden, and competing under every major promoter.
He hopes to develop shows that fighters can trust because of his experience, which includes knowing the glamour and the grind.
“As a promoter, I’m not anticipating making anything in the next few years.” He says, “I’m happy to roll the dice because I want to practice the trade as I go.”
His current plan is to expand the sport in Africa and the Middle East before resuming its UK-based activities when the time comes.
He also has a dream that Saudi Arabia will host fights during the lucrative Riyadh Season.
He is aware that he needs support in order to accomplish that.
Khan wants viewers to show him the same level of loyalty he once showed them, including former allies and co-promoters.
Khan is still thinking about Pacquiao and Mayweather.

After being defeated by long-time rival Kell Brook, Khan officially retired in 2022.
However, he might be tempted by two names.
He claims that a Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather fight is the only fight he’d return for.
“It’s difficult to say, but I believe it’s possible, especially Pacquiao,” she said. I am aware that he is fighting once more in the gym.
It says, “If it happens, it happens.” I’d really like to take it.
A return seems highly unlikely, in reality. Khan spent years pursuing Pacquiao and Mayweather, especially the American, but those superfights never came.
He still managed to establish his own career.
Khan spent 20 years in the spotlight, going from Bolton’s teen prodigy to world champion.
After defeating American Taylor Fritz 6-4, 6-4 in the Japan Open final on Tuesday, world number one Carlos Alcaraz won his eighth title of the year.
The Spaniard, who is currently the world’s number five, was too hot for the rest of the competition to handle after suffering an ankle injury this week in Tokyo, including Fritz, who is the world’s number five.
In his first appearance in Japan, the reigning US Open champion displayed yet another breathtaking display of strength and athleticism.
Before hurling himself to the net to warm up Fritz, he clinched victory with a cleverly disguised drop shot.

The Spaniard won his ninth straight championship championship championship championship game, his 10th overall.
No man has ever reached the top 10 finals in a single season, aside from Rafael Nadal, the legendary countryman he was with in 2017.
ALCAraz also anticipates Sinner to rebound from the US Open defeat.
After falling to Fritz for the first time at the Laver Cup in San Francisco two weeks ago, Alcaraz gained some form of retribution with the victory.
Alcaraz wasted several chances in the first set to break Fritz, but he made it happen in the ninth game.
The Spaniard was then assigned to the set, and Fritz’s return to the net sealed the deal.

Alcaraz kept his head on the gas and broke with the second set’s opener.
He broke him once more to give Fritz a 4-1 lead, and he continued to use brutal forehands against him.
Fritz responded with his second break of the match, but Alcaraz won the championship in his next service game too little, too late.
After winning at Eastbourne and Stuttgart, Fritz wanted to win his third title of the year.
