Bolton’s biggest boxing star Amir Khan is celebrating another triumphant victory this morning… the birth of his first child.

Earlier this month Khan stepped back in the ring, cruising to a unanimous points victory over Luis Collazo, picking up the vacant WBC Silver and WBA International Welterweight titles.
It was the former two-time world champion’s first bout for more than 12 months, and his fist at Welterwight having previously fought professionally at Light-welterweight.
Having impressed against the tough American, Khan is expected to face one of boxing’s biggest names later this year, with Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao mooted as possible opponents.
