Summary

My guest today is a boxer.

By 17, he was an Olympic silver medallist; by his mid-twenties, he was a world champion, fighting in Vegas and earning millions.

But this isn’t Hollywood and he isn’t Rocky. He said: “one day I looked at my bank account and it was all gone.”

Last year, he retired, ending his 27 year boxing career with a record of 40 fights and only six losses.

Since then, he has written an autobiography, Amir Khan: Fight For Your Life, to show - and I quote - “there’s more to me than knocking other guys’ lights out.”
