The world of boxing was rocked when British boxer Amir Khan failed a drug test for a banned substance following his fight with Kell Brook. Khan, a former light welterweight champion, has since been banned from professional boxing for two years.

Fans around the world remain shocked by the news, expressing their disappointment and the boxer has been receiving support from prominent boxing figures. However, a former Olympic boxer has taken a different stance, showing support for Khan despite the prevailing opinion.

Honestly, i don’t oftener believe fighters when they fail a drug test and say “I didn’t know…blar blar”

I’m going towards popular opinion here

But I really do believe his innocence https://t.co/dKKP7g4ucU
