i got. on larry king now boxing champion amir khan i'm going to fight and the look tough you potence one of them put the money back out if not. the well the division in the u.s. is look i'm easy to distill big means in the event me too he's my dolly said oh i told him i'll just call them of a muslim. mecca a stigma killed them which he still is on the hunt and then one hundred put on his psychotic do the top take a picture of my face put him in a box and fight i think it's all floyd it's always going to walk right through him he's going to make you look good making miska floods defense is amazing is what is

going to hit with me think he's going to be nice easy walk in the park for either being 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 amir 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 proud to a variety of philanthropic rawson'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 my hand in the fight and i decided to just get it 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 but i don't know if 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'll do 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 a fix for you grow up i grew up in a place called bolton it's in great mind just the. beginning but juhi your. parents from. 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 they all love me because i'm a i'm a british pakistani living outside of pakistan represent in pakistan the same time because they've got very little models and stuff so i think whenever i go they 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 how or were you when you realize you won a box last died box of age eight earned the reason i started was because i was very hyperactive when i was young my father said you need to burn i'm 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 conceived he smelled the sweat the blood the heat wow

this is the place i want to be up on and i never looked back since days of a 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 is lake is probably one of the most interesting weight divisions in boxing because with a well if you got speed movement you got a power go last kill the. middle you never jumped up the middle i jumped up one time and it worked for me. going to put away on its natural you know some fi is a thing that you can move up or we are not previous phase of the embroidery robinson e.o. and it succeeded welterweight middleweight light director and i so i didn't talk 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 bad boxer me but because he had more physical strength there me that when i was hitting him i could see that he was an it was even haney and i'm not winning on points i was here in a moving but there's only so much running a movement you can do because one wonderland and i was out of color the building is in the field is actually is enclosed are mohammed ali was in my or him you haven't made him a man twice man amazing man you said you say i'm behind on a long time now but i met him in inviting me to use my middle easterner if you haven't been now so you made me there and i met him and he came over and you know why you upset me and. 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 the thing is about muhammad ali was a huge list but everything i was telling him on the up he understands so i told him i just got a muslim a startled and i went to mecca i just did my pilgrim. age and he took his hand and shook my hand and then he got my hand and put on his chin. took 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 even 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 put me up against men and guys on my own way my own age and i'll just literally destroying them all and be in the box in them or playing them so 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 the first prince of if i knew i would believe in myself 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 just twenty million thought where i mean it was and you said no reason of you you regret not coming to america when you were young why is because if you fight in america you become the global star. 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 bit younger my korea should have gone there a little bit earlier i mean i i went there at the age of twenty three when i was twenty three i went to america twenty three twenty four or 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're you supposed to fight manny pacquiao there's a lot talk about the fight happening and it could still happen money a frenzy train together and something i'd love to have styles make fights and boxing what we both have a very similar balance speed power movement thing 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 b. and in or in a race which is floyd nearer now i don't think you have 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 the market down and then then is done saw be in a box of fight i think it's all floyd floyd is going to walk right up to him is going to make him look he's in 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. i mean if they're him yet but i've not seen a flood get hit with hit by big guys are huge star normie knowledge is always at one point and is floyd. that all money people think is no 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 say in a media chain con at the press conference is kind of stuck up and people stuck on me the king kong king kong saw. us took with us i liked it i thought is quite cool so i stuck with him for part hero's 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 lot of 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 there were a division in the in the u.s. is. 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 as your hand 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 now getting back into the gym because they were the fast was so long cocky or drink anything i couldn't relief 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 rest of the day you can't eat or drink anything or order in

a while and the 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 there on one of the four throw the whole aroma down now and get back into training hopefully after the show is ramadan help you i think it will definitely be utilized to god binutils to your community bring 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 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 europe will say they were the us you were saying they were the can't lose that it was a can't lose a fight so why is there such interest and 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 oxen basically and you know like you have see 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 we sport pick the most similar sports not community boxing can only use a hundred m m a's kicking punching holding. i think it's as is come to

a stage where people don't know which sport to take and 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 boys winning for the sport i think floyd mayweather is going to do that and nothing is unfair to mcgregor because it's not his forte. i mean i'm sure the pitch x. going to be exhausted is going to make you want to go after a break we'll talk a little politics with two time world champion boxer almira kong don't go away.

all the food we don't need. everyone in the world should experience fleas and you'll get the old. the old according to a gesture. from our world come along. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that burst fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most of society on politics as a species of endless and needless political theater politicians and just celebrity are two ruling parties are in reality one party to corporate and those who attempt to puncture this. breathless universe of fake news just signed to push through the

cruelty and exploitation of the media little or are forced so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be mice squeaking against an avalanche. we must. with the mayor getting gun groups have you with us airing in london his adopted countries from pakistan it's only about the amir khan foundation what do you do so what the medical 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 africa. when the syrian are in refugees need to help even the ukip khalifa 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 hit 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 study. and we focus more on children and emergency disasters so why are folks more children you know on the little girl myself alum eissa and i went to africa couple o. years ago and so innocent kids who are 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 often are you make sure that the money gets them or their muscle to 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 dornier this is also allowed to come with those flyers fly to a 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 gummi conversation we make showed up 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 there who can stop supporting the people straight away oh you seen a lot of tragedy here in london lately a lot of terrorism what do you make of it all you're 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 being hurt let's start off with what happened in the fire the london fire it's the or hundreds of people

people supposedly law people these fellows know the exact number one hundred people plus away in the apartment and on fire i went to visit the place a lot people said to me look we push you coming 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 north for example why did why did it little light so quickly within minutes it was all fire within i think eight minutes then he said to me we want you to ask the question where why were the ambulances on time so does a question people ask me or said i want to get too into because i don't know much about what happened i just want to go there show 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 were over there in a car 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 is a say in the koran which is the bible riess 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 one has to happen is all the communities need to get together all the muslim community get together i mean it send a message across the world we muslims we are all against terrorism we're no white man though in finsbury attack 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 in the very mosque was in my opinion doing it as an act of revenge. and just to say you're looking 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 from 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 have 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 that them or shall bear a partial ban yeah. i'm an architect is a story about myself i see i still train in america travel to america quite often and i sed always get pulled over because of my name pops up on the as a terrorist and used obviously airport and all the time customs and these recognize me and they know who i was and look i'm here we apologize but we have to do what system tells us. and. i had to just kept happening and happening and i was you know after a long flight after a long thirteen hour flight yes took

a nap of another two three hours it does take a liar you so 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 button 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 who are also 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 my training is a struggle as well than a go or do you think of president trump.

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 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 to go i mean that's what we want we can have people like donald trump saying to people that sent to muslims you get a button from coming to america need to be neutral you need to be neutral and you need 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 are 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 the whole gang gang numerous kisses in front my wife and do people like to say this i don't have a dolly to do there are a lot of people exactly let's let's have a little fire less and then why i went away and went away if i say yes let's do it and then back off for you i would get up and biggest risk you ever took. go in up against a fire in canelo when i went up two weeks at least if i athlete you admire most outside of boxing. like steph curry a bed it's thing you miss most about great britain when you're not there the weather the rain now it's like about. my family it's my family being repaired i know and also the academy is 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. mum's cooking what's your favorite thing about america. big wide street. 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 big dig in the trenches and the very to fight it was the way i would have hurt the most yeah probably was yeah obviously i was off my feeble i still went to and when the fire if you want to box or we should be only stuck and stuck in a shelf in a supermarket or something now that a bio that dreams of doing something big in life i don't know you could switch

places with someone for one day who would have big. which. you don't have to answer. ok on my on the hour we have some social media questions that's jerry want 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 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 why. you can never lose focus you can have this focus at me or someone on twitter where do 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 know feel pain you might watch on television thing. or we never feel pain i think in the future the adrenaline wishing for you buddy. as mohammed ali's on me was the only time he ever felt they in was the one we caught a from great britain and recoup and recoup of enery cooper hit him. not. in great britain and he felt that way because i had hurt yeah and then he and it happens i mean sometimes in the fight when you hit so hard you feel the pain even jennings and take you know take toll so yeah 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. quick before enough to make you feel so he got some extra time. great pleasure is. exactly my guess con from or information i'll be a miracle foundation visit. world dot com there's always you get from me on twitter king's things citing all from london see you next on. the american middle class has been railroaded by washington politics. big money for bringing. down a lot of boys that's how it is in the news culture in this country now that's where i come in. i mean it's still on our to america i'll make sure you don't get

railroad you'll get the straight talk in the straight news. all the world. and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are into american playing. r.t. america offers. many ways to use landscape is just like this you know real news big news good actors bad actors and in the end you could never you're all. so the park and all the world's a stage all the world's a stage all the world's a stage and we are definitely apply.

to. the u.s. response to concerns that donald trump is a threat of fire and future really against north korea is causing a dangerous escalation. exacerbating the president spoke to him to kim jong un in a language that secretary tillerson has sent and said this morning in the kind of language that kim jong un will understand. families and civilians killed by american military contractors in iraq demond justice as a u.s. court throws out the guards convictions. that the u.s. court will not release them because they are criminal. people.
