	Amir Khan (boxer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Amir is a Raja of the Janjua Rajput clan of Pakistan, which has a long and well documented history of warrior kings and a strong Martial reputation.

	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Boxer Rebellion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Boxer activity developed in Shandong province in March 1898 in response to both foreign penetration and the failure of the Imperial court's "self-strengthening" strategy of officially-directed development, whose shortcomings had been shown graphically in China's defeat by Japan in 1895.
		Despite their efforts, the Boxer rebels were unable to break into the compound, which was relieved by the international army of the Eight-Nation Alliance in July.
		The United States was able to play a significant role in suppressing the Boxer Rebellion because of the large number of American ships and troops deployed in the Philippines as a result of the U.S. conquest of the islands during the Spanish American War (1898) and subsequent Philippine insurgent activity.

		Khan knocked out Bailey at 1:46 of the first round to the cheers of "Khan's Barmy Army," a dozen or so of his friends who waved British and Pakistani flags that had been stitched together.

	Amir Khan - The Boy Who Would Be King
		After a shaky start, Khan had turned in a totally dominant performance, an impressive first Olympic contest, although admittedly against a Greek fighter who was effectively a 'wild-card’ entry, who qualified by dint of being a national at the games, as is the case throughout the Olympic programme.
		Khan in fact has his work cut out even in the next round, when he faces off against the vastly more experienced and current European lightweight champion, Bulgarian Stilianov, a slippery defensive fighter who likes to box his way to victory behind a solid defence.
		Khan will be a far more experienced amateur by then, and will have a further four years of senior experience to his credit by that time.

	Grant responds to Khan's outrageous comments
		Knowing that virtually every boxer performs many times in championships throughout their amateur career under such circumstances, and that it would be inconceivable that they would consider pulling out, you have to wonder why Khan did.
		Within an hour, I believe, of Khan saying he cannot box unless he gets more tickets, the ABA contacted him and said they would move his bout to earlier in the day and he could have hundreds of tickets, as many as he wanted, in fact.
		Khan holds no worries for me. In fact, I think he is less effective since he turned professional and it is apparent that in the ring he is not a thinking fighter.

		Khan's semi-final opponent on Friday night will be Kazakhstan's Serik Yeleuov, who was too slick for Domenico Valentino of Italy in the previous bout.
		Yeleuov is a compact southpaw with a sharp jab which he uses to set up the long straight left over the top. Valentino upped the tempo in the second half of the fight after falling behind, but his opponent was able to land too many clean shots and clinched a 29-23 points decision.
