ISLAMABAD: British boxer Amir Khan on Wednesday said he would dedicate the title he won on December 14 against Devon Alexander in a welterweight fight to the victims of the Peshawar attack, Express News reported.
The world lightweight boxing champion said he was ready to cooperate in every way with the government of Pakistan, while addressing a press conference in Islamabad.
"I want to start doing more work here, to build gyms here," Amir said.
"I want to show people that we can improve the country."
"There are a lot of good fighters here, there's a lot of talent in Pakistan that it is not being used and I am here to help and show my support."
Close to a week ago, Amir had said he would donate the shorts he wore during the win against Alexander, which were worth £30,000, to help rebuild the school in Peshawar.
