Amir Khan may have remained out of action for several years, but that hasn’t shrunk his charisma in the boxing sphere. The multi-weight champion and former pound-for-pound star shall return to the ring shortly and he is already turning heads in the build-up of the fight.

Well, Khan is a pay-per-view superstar and has relished this aura throughout his professional journey. ‘King Khan’ is a familiar face not just in Europe or USA, but he also holds a strong fanbase in Asia. This verifies why he became a PPV star, as his reach extends to great distances.

Khan is also a boxing promoter and the President of the WBC middle East. Meanwhile, there’s an interesting twist on why Khan is popular in so many continents and his ethnicity has a major role to play in it.

Who is Amir Khan? What is his background?

According to reports, Amir Iqbal Khan was born on December 8 1986 in Manchester, UK. However, his ethnicity is Pakistani. Therefore, Khan has a massive fanbase over there even though Pakistan has scarcely produced eminent boxers. Meanwhile, Khan’s active initiation in forming Super Boxing League in 2019 helped him become more popular in India and other Asian countries.

Well, his primary fanbase still lies in the United Kingdom. While he could have staged his return against Kell Brook anywhere in the world, he opted to do it in Britain. There’s a valid reason for that as PPV sales can see a serious rise along with Gate Sales. That said, a hefty payday will seemingly nourish Khan’s net worth, which is already in a lavish position.
