Amir Khan has made quite a name for himself during his professional boxing career. Some have called him "arrogant," and the British fighter's most recent stunt doesn't help matters. Reports are showing that Kahn plans to wear boxing's most expensive shorts in his upcoming bout with Devon Alexander. But if Amir wins the fight, it could do wonders for Khan's career and reputation, and even pit him against boxing legend Floyd Mayweather.
The 28-year-old has an impressive record of 29 wins and only 3 losses. Impressively, 19 of these were by knockout. Khan is also the youngest British boxer to earn a silver medal in the Olympics.
Even though Khan has expressed himself as a worthy fighter, his upcoming opponent, Devon Alexander, has publicly chastised him for his arrogance and trash talk.
To make things worse, Yahoo Sports recently reported that Khan would be wearing the most expensive shorts to ever enter a boxing ring:
"Britain's Amir Khan will wear boxing's 'most expensive shorts' when he steps into the ring to face Devon Alexander in a welterweight bout in Las Vegas this weekend...Khan will wear shorts, made of white nappa leather, silk and featuring a waistband made of 24-carat gold thread, with a reported value of at least £20,000 ($31,430) The Sheffield company Fight Label, who made the shorts, said Khan 'wanted extravagant and we've delivered.'"
For a person to enter a match with such flare and flashiness, he must be confident in himself.
According to Daily Star, for Khan, this fight carries more than monetary value:
"It is a fight that could earn him the biggest payday of his career and also the chance to topple the greatest boxer of this generation in Floyd Mayweather Jnr. Welterweight Khan...cannot just win against American Alexander - he has to demolish the former world champion...He has to send out a statement and make American TV company Showtime put pressure on Mayweather to take a fight with the fast-handed Brit."
