Former welterweight world champion Amir Khan will end a near
two year
hiatus from the sport with a bout in Liverpool on April 21 against an
unnamed opponent he announced on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old — whose most recent activity was spent on a reality
TV programme in the jungle — made the announcement alongside British
boxing promoter Eddie Hearn with whom he has signed a three fight deal.
The 2004 Olympic lightweight silver medalist’s last outing was back
in May 2016 when he stepped up to middleweight to face Mexico’s star
pugilist Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and was knocked out in the sixth round.
