AMIR KHAN'S STAGGERING NET WORTH AS RETIRED BOXER CONSIDERS KSI AND JAKE PAUL FIGHTS
Amir Khan continues to enjoy a mega net worth despite hanging up his gloves two years ago.
Reports have suggested Khan might consider stepping out of retirement for one last hefty paycheck in the influencer scene. He was one of the highest-earning British boxers ever, first making a name for himself bagging a silver medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics - becoming the youngest boxing Olympic medallist from the UK.
Celebrity Net Worth claim that Khan is still worth a staggering $40million (£31,350,800), even after bidding farewell to the ring in 2022, citing his lost "love" for boxing.
Throughout his fighting career, it's estimated that Khan raked in an enviable £65million, funds he's ploughed into his very own Amir Khan Academy in Pakistan - not to mention his own promotions company, Khan Promotions.
In addition to this, the sportsman co-owns India's Super Fight League (MMA) and Super Boxing League. With his immense wealth, Khan doesn't shy away from lavish investments, ranging from property to vehicles and glitzy accessories.
Among Khan's car collection are high-end supercars including a Rolls-Royce Phantom (£233,000), a Lamborghini Aventador (£271,000) and a Porsche 911 Turbo (£160,000). Property-wise, the retired boxer holds several stunning properties and recently sold off his £1.2million Bolton mansion to snap up a four-bed bungalow in the same area.
Amir Khan's wife, Faryal Makhdoom, has splashed out a whopping £250,000 on doing up their bungalow to create the perfect family home, and they've even snapped up a swanky holiday pad in Dubai. The couple's new retreat boasts a private pool with breathtaking views of Dubai's iconic skyline.
When it comes to personal bling, Amir can't resist a flashy watch. He's been seen sporting some seriously pricey timepieces, including a Richard Mille RM 032 dive watch that can set you back between £95,000 and £111,000, a sleek Cosmograph Daytona Oystersteel (£35,000), and a dazzling diamond-encrusted Rolex worth £72,000.
That very Rolex was stolen from Khand in March 2023 but, luckily for him, the police had it back on his wrist by the following month. Despite living it large, the former boxing champ is eyeing a return to the ring to bulk up his bank balance even more by taking on the new kids on the block - KSI and Jake Paul.
BBC Sport reports that the 37-year-old is considering plans to duke it out on a Misfits card against the YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI. Misfits, co-founded by KSI himself, allows social media stars to glove up and box, as well as seasoned pros looking for a comeback or those who've missed out on the limelight lately.
Khan's not shy about calling out his potential rivals online either. He recently called out both KSI and Paul on X, posting "Be cautious about what you desire @KSI @jakepaul" followed by a boxing glove emoji.
Khan could be set to make millions from his upcoming fights, if his previous earnings are anything to go by. The boxer has previously earned between £690,000 and a staggering £9.4million per fight - with his last bout against Kell Brook netting him a cool £5million profit despite the loss.
KSI is estimated to have made between $900,000 (£708K) and $3million (£2.3million) from his past fights, which included opponents such as Logan Paul, Joe Weller and Tommy Fury.
Jake Paul, meanwhile, pocketed $1.2million (£941K) for his fight against Nate Robinson alone and is thought to have made up to $50million (£39.2million) from his boxing career, according to Diaro AS. This suggests that Khan could stand to make a tidy sum by fighting either Paul or KSI - regardless of the match's outcome.
Khan also revealed that he'd be open to taking on Jake Paul in the near future if Mike Tyson was unable to fulfil his scheduled fixture against the former YouTube star. 'Iron Mike' was due to face off against Paul on July 20 in a controversial match, but it was postponed indefinitely after Tyson was deemed medically unfit to fight due to an ulcer flare-up.
The fight is now expected to take place in November, but Khan has said he would be willing to step in for Tyson, provided Paul dropped a significant amount of weight. Speaking to Offshore Poker Sites, Khan stated: "If the weights are right, I don't mind giving away 20 pounds.
"It just depends on the weight because I know Jake has put on a lot of weight to fight Mike. Jake is not normally that big, but he's put on a lot of mass, so it depends on him, whether he's willing to lose that weight and we find some middle ground somewhere.
"Let's see, but I've had no calls about that, so I assume they're still hoping to fight Mike, he's not going to want to take a beating before that. These guys are half way training, drinking in camp - they don't even have a camp - they're making the sport look bad, so if it means I have to knock out KSI, Jake Paul and his brother Logan to teach them a lesson, I will.
"I don't think Jake Paul will want anything to do with me to be honest. I want to put this influencer boxing to rest because these guys are destroying boxing and until they get a good beating, they won't realise that boxing is for real fighters who take the sport seriously."
