Summary

Hello everyone and welcome back to Private Parts, the podcast where nothing is off limits.


We've got something incredible lined up for your Friday, folks. Today, in the studio, we have none other than the boxing sensation himself, Amir Khan.


Amir's journey to stardom began when he clinched a Silver medal at the 2004 Olympic Games, instantly establishing himself as a rising force in the global boxing arena. Fast forward 16 years, and he's here with Jamie to unravel the incredible story of his life – from his upbringing in Bolton to his meteoric rise as a World Champion aged just 18.


But the story doesn't stop there. Amir delves into the chapters of his life, sharing experiences such as receiving death threats from Al Qaeda, being robbed at gunpoint and reveals the truth about his doping scandal. He also discusses his future plans, including the burning question of whether he'll ever step back into the boxing ring. Trust us, this is an episode you won't want to miss.


If Amir's life story has you hooked, don't forget to check out his recently released autobiography, 'Fight For Your Life,' available to buy now.
