pink great britain in the olympics i want to medal for great britain and people calling me terrorists because i'm muslim that's next on larry king now. welcome to larry king now we're in great britain with amir king kong the two time world champion professional boxer with a record of thirty one wins and four losses occluding nineteen knockouts a mayor is great britain's youngest olympic boxing medalist taking the silver in athens at the age of seventeen outside the reagan era has lent his star power to a variety of philanthropic crossman's started his own charitable organization the amir khan foundation and is slated to reenter the ring later this year for his highly anticipated first fight since may of two thousand and sixteen why so long away i had a hundred position. i had. hunt in the fight and i decided to just get fixed about

the one problem for the last ten years never got it fixed i always said look i'll get it fixed later i'll get a fix later i always used to go into training camp and put the splints on my hand and spend extra time on you know when you do the bandages and the taping for hard enough i said look i'm just going to man fix because the last thing you want to do is in a fight before walking into the ring thinking about your hand the pain didn't hurt when you hit someone it's always hurt me it always hurt me i was who i remember on my last fight i was in the mitts just to warm up so while i'm on the mitts warming up i can feel a shop pain right through my hand and that's when i decided after the fight i'm going to get it fixed would you go up i grew up in a place called bolton is in great mind just a. union but judy your president pakistan. you go to pakistan by i go there quite a lot two three times a year and you know with pakistan the only sport to follow now is obvious cricket

been the number one sport for boxing because of me and i have such a huge fun base there and i love me because i'm a i'm a british pakistani living outside of pakistan who represent in pakistan the same time because they've got very little models and stuff so i think whenever i go there get treated like a superstar it's brilliant you understand cricket. yeah. i understand it more than best for the army base but. i'm a baseball freak and i don't understand cricket oh how or were you when you realize you won a box last died box of age eight and the reason i started was because i was very hyperactive when i was young my father said you need to burn i need to burn manages away and so took me to the local box engine or i remember walking in there you know when you hear the bugs been const you smell the sweat the blood the heat wow this is the place i want to be up and i never looked back since the age of eight i kept

training my first fight was when i was eleven and i just kept on going from there it will not i'm well aware. you know most will see it with my mirror their money back they were so the way it is like it's probably one of the most interesting weight divisions in boxing because with a well if you've got speed movement you've got a power loss kill their middle you never jumped up to medal i jumped at one time and it worked for me. going to put away on natural you know some fi is thing that you can move up or we are not previous phase of the embroidery robinson e.o. and it succeeded welterweight middleweight light directly and i so i jumped up and sometimes about who you fire as well i had a fight and someone who was probably on the pound for pound best buy's out there which was a fire in canal of mexican here where he was and obviously i lost our fight not

because he was a boxer me but because he had more physical strength of the me that when i was hitting him i could see that he was an it was even hitting him but i'm not winning on points i was here in a moving but there's only so much running a sad movie can do because one wonderland and i was out of color the building is in the field is actually is enclosed. mohammad ali was in my or m. you haven't made him a man twice. amazing man you said you say i'm behind on a long journey now but i met him in invite me to use my dalai sena ever been no so you made me there and i met him and he came over and you know what upset me was up when you see you see when your heroes who speak it was very vocally nice to speak out and talk about his opponents and now his side i can speak in his even he didn't speak at the time and he couldn't speak because of his parkinson's disease so that kind of hurt me a little bit but this thing is about my family was

a huge list but everything i was telling him on are he understands so i told him i just got them i'm a muslim us are told and i went to mecca i just did my pilgrim. and he took his hand and shook my hand and then he got my hand and put on his chin so i can't do that i can take a picture of my fist on your chin i guess we had a great time to go and change the room how were you able to at seventeen you go to the olympics for boxing it was because i was whoever the put in front of me at the time i was being there point me up against men and guys on my own way my own age and i'll just eat literally destroying them all and be in the box in them or playing them sold they had no reason but to send me because a woman seventeen i was going to be fighting men at the age of eighty two. and didn't want to send me first prince of. well you know i knew i would believe in myself that i could go far and seemingly do want to send me first so i had

another route which was pakistan obviously not has been from pakistan so then does twenty million thought where i mean it was and you said no reason interview that you regret not coming to america when you were young why is because if you fight in america you become the global star now. i think if i was in fact if i was it now boxing in america i don't think i'd be on the show with yourself. because you only kind isolate yourself you want to have the british fun base and the european fun because we're going to america you become that global star and i just wish maybe a little younger my korea should have gone there a little bit earlier i mean i i went there the age of twenty three when i was twenty three amateur america twenty three twenty four for now i'm like thirty and i think if i had gone there a little bit younger when i was eighteen would have been just even better we you

supposed to fight manny pacquiao there's a lot of talk about the fight happening and it could still happen in money a frenzy train together and something i'd love to have styles make fights in boxing what we both have a very similar balance speed power movement and that could work or you think they were is going to do against mcgregor it's going to i mean let's break the fight darns the boxing rules it's boxing rules mcgregor never had a boxing fight as a professional such as first phase up against someone who's on be in or in a race which is floyd near or now i don't think you're the boxes chance it was m.m.a. fight then you know and if you can offer well you know you don't even out once you're not sit down then and then it's done so being a box of fight i think it's all floyd floyd is going to walk right through here is going to make him look is it mickey misconstrues defense is amazing is what is going to hit with anything it's going to be nice easy walk in the park for him if

he does that a wow i mean if they're him yet but i've not seen a flood get hit with hit by bigger guys like huge dollar norman i would always at one point and is floyd. that all money people think you know because obviously again all these other less face per year. i think floods are already thought mayor king garner who gave the name king it was a promoter mine an old friend richard shifa and he stayed just sayin i mean a chain con at the press conference is kind of stuck up on people's dot com in the in can king kong saw. us took with us i liked it i thought is quite cool so i stuck with him for park here was not going to happen are you going to fight this year yeah i'm going to fight end of the year with one hundred permission go well i'm now going to go back in the ring off you want to back out october november there's a lot of interest in a location like a lot of talk about dubai a lot of talk about you kids

a lot talk about america or bullying or you fight we look at a few points one of them could be manny pacquiao if not then the what would division the in the u.s. is look amazing i mean there's some big names in there you've got keep them in you've got study garcia you've got some big names s. so go for the big names if you're him fully ok i'm fully ok training i am training you have started i've just come off the month of ramadan saw i'm no getting back into the gym because they were the fast was so long cocky or drink anything i couldn't really for train because you know on the knowledge to eat or drink anything so they were literally for eighteen hours long in the u.k. then for five hours off to eat enough for five all you can only once in a year when you're on your own ramadan you need once a day once a bit and i only once a day and the west of the day you can't eat or drink anything or order in

a while and they like eighteen hour long fasts saw this is more of a mental thing for me to know that when i need to done my way and everything and also mentally mixed. strong. it's like a fight on this on it's own way so i got the ramadan of fro the whole aroma done now i'm getting back into training hopefully after the show is ramadan help you i think it will definitely be a close to god when you close to your community brings you close to your people. and your family from the all about spending time with the family and praying and doing positive things you know in the koran it tells you to do good things i mean all the stuff that we see around the world that's up to the people calling themselves muslims is not written in the koran this is not in the koran to kill innocent people thought i'm totally against our lab or what ramadan is teaching that is to respect one another and appreciate and also think about the poor people

because by fasting it makes you feel what the poor people feel and not mix is give to the poor give charity to the poor give food to the poor and support that we discussed earlier the macgregor mayweather thing you think there's a fair fight. on there so you will say they were the us you are saying they were the can't lose that there was a can't lose a fight so why is there such interest in you know why this why there's so much interest in this fight is because it's not a fight between. mcgregor is a fight between us see i'm boxing basically and no like u.f.c. i like your sam i have my own you have see i am a complete called super fight league in india a best is best over there so basically i'll break it down for you now you can hunt for funds from u.f.c. you know hunt for funds on boxing didn't which sport to pick the most similar sports not many boxing can only use a hundred emmy's kicking punching holding i think is as is come to

a stage where people don't know which sport to pick. they have to they want the best of the best the two biggest names in boxing and the biggest name in m.m.a. to face each other whichever person wins is not only winning for himself but he's winning for the sport i think floyd mayweather is going to do that and nothing is unfair to mcgregor because it's not his sport. is not ball mean i'm sure the pitch x. going to be. going to is going to make you want to get in the reading after a break we'll talk a little politics with two time world champion boxer mir kong don't go away. people have got to know whether or not fair presenter supply american people deserve to know your differences at this point does it mean a guard against the military industrial. we shall never in the gulf.

war should know that. yes we do have a. future because of. the mission of newsworthy is to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media in this country can say. average viewer that r.t. america has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that mainstream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what the cover how long the conference or how to say that's the beauty of archie america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more

that's. not letting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. come back with the mayor getting gun groups have you with us in london his adopted country he's. tucker stan so many of the amir khan foundation what do you do so what the american foundation is doing is helping less fortunate people around the world i started this by helping other charities. and by helping to the child is going to different countries and africa. when the syrian you are in a refugee you need to help even the ukip cliff are we from england and one thing i always said to people is a show to stockholm you have to look after you local people first the local community does love people that need help in the u.k. we support for example the homeless feeding the homeless when we have got here in

carlisle by the floods my t. was there helping them so i thought i want to start my own foundation i want to start my own charlie company i started. and we focus more on children and emergency disasters so why are folks more children little girl myself. and i went to africa capello years ago and saw innocent kids who had no food or water the pros have no money. love them or love them are often so i decided to build my office build my american foundation around support in the youth and off and how do you make sure that the money gets them to go there myself and go there myself and make sure me and my team see everything where the money is gets spent and one thing about the charities that whoever dawn is is also allowed to come with

those flyers fly to the location see where their money's been spent because a lot people might pay cherry's they might give money to charity but didn't know where the money going to go to school in a bank can stay in the bank for long. with gummy conversation we make sure that we are very transparent we'll go there we'll take the we'll take our daughters with those sure they're where their money's been spent at the same time we don't like keeping a lot of money in the bank because we want to get death who can start supporting the people straight away well you see no other tragedy here in london lately a lot of terrorism what do you make of it all are you concerned very concerned i think everyone has to be concerned about this situation we are in is very sad to see that innocent people are being killed innocent people are being her best off with what happened in the fire the london fire italy or hundreds of people people supposedly lot people is the law the exact number one hundred people plus away in the apartment when the lit on fire i went to visit the place

a lot people said to me look we push you come in but i mean we need and says. i only went there to show most specs people are asking me why are you not given as the answer to your for example why did why did it little blight so quickly within minutes it was all on fire within i think eight minutes then he said to me we want you to ask the question where why were the ambulance on time. so these are question people asking me all this that they want to get to him too because i didn't know much about what happened i just want to go to the national my respect and kind of show people that people like myself are here to support it then you had the london eye bridge attack where. some people went over there and a cause of terrorists you can call them kill innocent people winning over them which i am totally against and then you see all that terrorist attacks happening it's just like so it's a very sad time for british muslims and british people because these people who are

going out there calling themselves muslims killing innocent people are not muslims it doesn't say in the koran which is the bible it's like a bible which is a book that we follow in order to kill the innocent people so i just think that whoever is doing this in all muslims i don't call them muslims what do you how do you feel being a muslim but the anti muslim feeling even the president as states as expects first degree of anger at muslim activity i mean you feel there is an anti muslim feeling in the world there is there is an. you know a new os i it does put the fear in you of the may my daughter is going to grow up one day and never want her to walk on the street and people calling her a terrorist i mean it's even happened to me on social media i'm more british than anyone i was playing great britain in the olympics i want to medal for graber and people calling me terrorists because i'm a muslim and you know it's a vote of time that we're living through at the moment but what needs to happen is

all the communities need to get together all the muslim community get together i mean it send the message across the world we muslims we are all against terrorism or no white man though and things very excited muslims that didn't get the attention we said to you i mean it did come yeah i mean it does upset you because stuff is i came to london i was invited to london to do some interviews about that and. seems to me that now what's going to happen is just going back and forth the the white man and did the attack on the very mosque was in my opinion doing it as an act of revenge and just to set our innocent people we can do the same thing and this is where it's just going to force all apart we all have to stick together we have to stop all this stuff on happening because the people who are being hurt by this are innocent people and we are also freeing so we definitely stick together as

a community and stop all these supreme court new united states they partially allowed travel ban. you can you can go if you have relatives of ever job but if you don't have any of those this kind of a stay and i'm going to get a whole case in october what do you make of them are still bad apostle vanya. i'm an architect is a story about myself i see i still train in america travel to america quite often and i just always get pulled over because of my name pops up a the a terrorist means the view of the airport and all the time customs and these recognize me and they know who i was and look amir we apologize but we have to do what system tells us. and i had to just it kept happening and happening and i was you know after a long flight after a long thirteen hour flight you're still can epiphone of the two three hours it does take a lie you saw i met hillary clinton when i was in washington i was invited to an

event there and i told her and she got the she said look give me your details and let me strike to help you can you send his email will clarify you as you know you're a safe person to travel. by putting this ban on i think is only going to make so many people get frustrated for stressful many people from clinton america i mean i don't know much about i just think it's libya is sad to see that people are not a load special muslims abandoned from going to america because. there's so many of us over there are also i have families and we have friends ever i go there to train now and then when the i never want to come across a day where they said to me sorry mr khan you can come to america because you muslim me so much because i'm out of my training is that the studio as well domingo what do you think of president trump. i mean he. he is very vocal. and he can ask me i liked

obama but i thought he was amazing i think why does america was amazing. you know easy you know but look at the day whoever's going to go in power is going to try to make the country try to make the country safe and i want get on together i mean that's what we want we can have people like donald trump sent people up sent to muslims you get them done from coming to america need to be neutral you need to be neutral and he needs to be. be neutral basically if you play a little game of of you only knew i just also question what's your proudest accomplishment winning a world title best piece of advice you ever got i always train hard never give up even when you lose a fight they were city the fight in las vegas city you'd like to fight them to buy everything to do on a day off i feel to relax and watch telly but i'll go funny as phantom counter.

people chasing me down the street just for picture or just for hogan getting numerous kisses in front my wife and two people like to say this i don't have a dolly to do there are a lot of people exactly let's let out a little fellas and then why i went away and went away if i say yes let's do it and then back off oh yeah yeah we got up and biggest risk ever took. go in up against a fire in canelo when i fire up two week at least if i am athlete you admire most outside of boxing. like steph curry abed. thing you miss most about great britain when you're not there the weather there in no light about it. with my family it's my family being repaired i know i'm also a kind of missed the community the area surrounding when you can is little different where we go in the world including you are very comfortable and great

very comfortable here was the thing you miss most when you're not there. mom's cooking was your favorite thing about america. the big wide streets and there is so many different. people i mean from different parts of the world in one country and also the boxing training over there is probably one the best ever you can you can get toughest fight you ever had toughest fight against marcos maidana i did it big in the trenches and it was a very to fight it was the way i would have hurt the most. probably was yeah obviously i was more feeble i still went to and when the fire if you want to box or we should be only stuck and stuck on a shelf in a supermarket or something now that a bio that dreams of doing something big in life that i don't know you could switch places with someone for one day who would it be.

don't have to answer. ok on my on the hour we have some social media questions that's jerry one on twitter of the fight you lost who would you like to have a rematch with a danny garcia as if i had like a rematch with because of the fire i should have won the fight and i kind of give away myself a winning the fight and if it's made me realize that losing focus for one second and change i totally and that's what happened and you can never lose hope you can have this focus at me or someone on twitter where you see yourself in five years five years i see most of do more chary work or be retired from boxing looking after my family and just enjoying life john c. on the larry king now blog how do you handle pain in the ring is the adrenaline running so high that going to block it out of so when you're in the rain you know

feel pain even if you're knocked out even if you get hit with a big shot you never feel pain you might watch on television thing. or we never feel pain i think in the future the adrenaline wishing for your body was mohammed ali's on me was the only dummy of athol pain was the henry carter from great britain and recoup and recoup their every cooper hit him. knocked him down in great britain and he fell that way because i hurt yeah i mean any of it happens i mean they'll be sometimes in the fight when you hit so hard you feel the pain that even jennings and take you know take toll so yeah dot dot to happen sometimes and i think i do remember that watching him documentary he mentioned that he got hit so hard in the corner when his coach. kind of was it something out of the. quick before enough to make you feel so he got some extra

time oh yeah that's what i needed some extra time great pleasures. to see anything big facts that might get some confirmation or information on be a miracle on foundation visit on me or on the world dot com there's always a good for me on twitter king's things siding all for london see you next time. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. want to be.

with you going to be pros this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. sydney. i do not know if the russian state hacked into john protests. those emails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing planned three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied the n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate media has once again proved to be an echo chamber for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something.
