Refusing to Retire, Amir Khan: Someone Still Wants to See Me Against Pacquiao
Amir Khan refused his proposal to retire immediately after being defeated by Terence Crawford. Khan says retirement at the wrong time will always haunt him. Because he doesn't want to return to boxing after actually declaring his retirement.
Khan was defeated by Terence Crawford with TKO in the sixth round of 12 planned for the WBO welterweight title at Madison Square Garden, New York, Saturday (04/20/2019) evening local time or Sunday (04/21/2019) morning WIB.
Boxing expert Steve Bunce said Khan had to retire immediately because he looked awkward when boxing, the balance was bad, and his punch choices were not good. World boxing fans cannot continue to support Khan just because he has great courage and courage.
However, Khan said he did not want to hang boxing after the defeat to Crawford. "I have to be ready to retire. I don't want to retire, then think, 'Can I fight again?' You have to do it at the right time, it must be a solid decision, "Khan told the Mirror.
"Retiring at the wrong time will haunt me. I don't want to retire and then go back to the boxing ring. When I declare my retirement, I retire. That's all."
"I don't want to end my career like that," said the 2004 Olympic silver medalist. "Of course not."
Khan's professional record is now in 33 wins and five defeats, with three more defeats coming from KO from Breidis Prescott, Danny Garcia, and Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez.
Khan felt confident that there were still several other battles for him at the welterweight class. "One thing about America, I will always get a chance here because I practice here and there are many battles out there for me," Khan added.
"There's a rematch with (Danny) Garcia, people still want to see me fight with great boxers like (Keith) Thurman and (Manny) Pacquiao." { SOURCE }
