NO KHAN DO Amir Khan booed by Manchester crowd for refusing to accept Conor Benn fight after jumping in the ring

N

AMIR KHAN was booed after he refused to commit to fighting Conor Benn.

The Bolton boxer jumped into the ring after Benn demolished Chris van Heerden in Manchester on Saturday night.

But Khan, who was hammered by rival Kell Brook, was in no mood to commit to another blockbuster fight.

When Khan entered the ring all he would say was: “I am just here to enjoy the boxing. I’m a fan. I’m here to support him.

“At the moment to spend time to my family but who knows.

“If I comeback then we can see where we go from there.

“He is a young and hungry lion.”

Just four months after crushing Chris Algieri with a ruthless one-two combination, Benn used the same attack to obliterate Van Heerden.

The South African was expected to be awkward and frustrating for Benn in his first fight against a southpaw.

But he instead seemed happy to stand and trade power shots which he had little chance of surviving.
