Inside the lucrative up-to-date undertaking of Amir Khan and his plans with the President of the Son Ghana
Published

The boxing career of Amir Khan took him to London, Athens, Las Vegas and Jeddah – and now he is heading to Ghana. At the age of 38, Khan will join forces with Sharaf Mahama, son of President Ghana John Mahama to promote the tank entitled “Battle of the Beasts Fight-Card in West Africa.
During his excellent struggle career, British-Pakistani never avoided a challenge by accepting powerful opponents such as Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, a seriously striking Terenka Crawford and the hazardous Zab Judah. His bold approach did not always bring success, and Canelo stopped him in the sixth round of their fights 2016, and Crawford forced him to retire after half the fight after catching him one of the most brutal low blows they had ever seen in boxing.
After pointing to returning from a retirement and even a potential meeting with Manny Pacquiao, it seems that Khan found his next venture-centers his promotional company, AK Promotions. The former GB Fighter team and the Olympic promotion of the Silver Medalist will cooperate with Ghana’s older promotions to distinguish African boxing on a global stage.
The event, scheduled for Friday, June 13 in Ghana, will be broadcast on Dazn and present a shock in heavyweight between Andrew Tabiti from the USA and his own Jacob Dicks Ghana.
In a bold move that reflects his own career, Khan aroused emotions with his latest undertaking. In an interview with The boxer said: “I know the President of the Son Ghana (Mahama). Sharaf contacted me and he said:” Listen, I would like you to make a boxing show here. ” I thought about it, and then I thought, “Let’s do it now.”
“I think it will be nice. Now is a good moment when boxing is still caressing all over the world. I decided” yes, let’s gather several fighters. “
“I always wanted to take care of the promotion myself. Being an exiletic, I know exactly how the promotional game works when it comes to fighters and weights. I have contacts, and this is good for me, because it shows where loyalty lies.
“I made millions for promoters. I made great offers from Turki Al-Sheikh, with Frank Warren, with Spencer Brown (head of Tyson Fury). So it will show me whether loyalty will be there with all other promoters.
“I worked with all the promoters of Golden Boy, Top Rank, Eddie (Hearn), Frank Warren, literally, everyone calls them. It will assist me go to a promotional game.
“I am a huge fan of this sport and I want the best fight to be best, just like Turks do now and in the last few years.”
Khan’s friend and colleague in promotional efforts, Mahama, shares his determination to grow boxing in Africa. He said: “This is the first of many. Our mission is to build a platform in which African warriors shine around the world, and fans get unforgettable nights they deserve. The world is looking and Ghana is ready.”
Despite the legendary “jungle rumbling” between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, held in Kinshash, Dr. Congo, in 1974, boxing did not achieve the same meaning in Africa, as in the USA, Europe, and recently in Saudi Arabia.
Khan is up-to-date in this world, but he has great plans for the future of boxing. He added: “The best need to fight best. This time we immerse feet in the water thanks to this program in Ghana, learning slowly. Then we will start to make more and more programs.
“It’s amazing that Dazn is also on board

Lewis Crocker vs. Liam Paro – large fight preview and predictions
Published
3 months agoon
June 23, 2026
On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
