Welterweight elite Amir Khan was recently seen training Prince Naseem Hamed’s son, Aadam Hamed, while the youngster looked prominent on the mitts. The video raised several eyebrows as Hamed can possibly make his boxing debut soon, with Amir Khan looking for a return.

President of the WBC Middle East, ‘King’ Khan took a hiatus from the sport in 2019 after beating Billy Dib in the headliner of the inaugural SBL event. Post the fight, he garnered several call-outs. But the Brit concentrated on his administrative roles.

However, several reports cite him to be looking for a comeback fight. He recently met Eddie Hearn, which many believe to be a negotiation for his comeback fight, potentially against Kell Brook. Although no reports are confirmed, Khan’s latest video surely strengthens the rumors.

There are high chances of Khan lacing up the boxing gloves, especially when almost every old-school legend has returned in exhibitions. But 34-year-old Amir Khan should come back for a pro-contest. Following his latest performance in 2019, he has been inactive for merely two years. Thus, he can still come and offer tough challenges to several modern-day fighters.
