Former British WBA/IBF superweight boxer Amir Kahan (Khan) said that the main reason why he challenged the dangerous Mexican superstar Avarez was that the Mayweather he had been chasing was a female cannon who had been running away from him, so he risked challenging Avarez.
Khan is a famous Boxer of British And Pakistani descent who won a valuable silver medal for The United Kingdom at the 2004 Athens Olympics at the age of 17 in his spare time.
Kahan punched out so fast that he could punch out eight burning candles with one punch, enough to see the speed and strength of his punch. On May 8, 2016, In order to pay tens of millions of punches, Kahan rose from 140 pounds to 155 pounds in the perennial battle, cross-level at the T-MOBILE Arena in Las Vegas, USA, to challenge the then WBC middleweight boxing champion Avarez, and as a result, due to the difference in personality between the two bodies in the case of the point advantage, the 6th round was KO, and Kahan still regrets upgrading not to challenge.
Kahan explained that part of the reason he accepted the game was because Floyd Mayweather had been ignoring and avoiding him. As early as 2014, after Kahan became the number one challenger at WBC, Mayweather, then the WBC sub-middleweight champion, did not accept his challenge for two years, and Mayweather eventually fought with Marcos Midana.
"When [Golden Boy CEO] De La Hoya called me, I couldn't refuse. Maybe I was too brave for my own good and I accepted Avarez. Mayweather was an insignificant person and didn't want to play against me, so I said, OKAY, let's go. I lost to Avárez but I earned his respect," Kahan said.
"Yes, I was KO, but he was one of the best Mexican boxers ever. I weighed 158 pounds that night and he weighed 187 pounds. It's crazy, he doesn't look that big, but when I see him in the corner, I'm thinking what am I doing here? He had his back to me, and this head was too big. ”
