Former two-time light welterweight world champion British boxer Amir Khan believes that Bahrain has the potential to start bringing in big professional boxing events that could draw in tens of thousands of spectators.
Khan, 37, is in the kingdom to attend the Royal Rumble II, a charity event organised by the Bahrain Boxing Federation (BBF) in association with the Bahrain Rugby Football Club (BRFC), which will see boxers from the Bahrain Royal Guard pitted against opponents from the British Army’s Parachute Regiment at the BRFC tonight.
