Boxing: 'Proud British fighter' Khan wants success for Pakistan, too

ISLAMABAD: Boxer Amir Khan has denied betraying his British upbringing after being criticized for saying he would represent Pakistan at the Rio Games, insisting he only wanted to boost the sport in his parents' country of birth.

But the Bolton-born fighter also admitted he would not be willing to face an accompanying two-year ban from the World Boxing Council that would jeopardize his professional career, making an Olympic appearance unlikely.
