Due to inactivity, Amir Khan lost his WBC number 1 spot as
a welterweight contender and detached from the top 15.
The news was confirmed by WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman.
“Amir
Khan was a mandatory before. Then he fought Canelo. Then he would remain as
mandatory, but then he got injured.” “He has been out of the ring for so long,
that inactivity took over.” – Mauricio
Sulaiman
The former super-lightweight champion of the world last boxed
in May of 2016 against the present face of boxing, Canelo Alvarez. He was banged
out brutally in 6th.
Following his fight with Alvarez, he suffered a hand
injury and needed a full attention. The medical extension that his team filed
was already expired.
Khan was rumored to be fighting twice this year, but
everything didn’t run as planned as his previous negotiations fail.
His team is now working to land a perfect opponent for
him. Pacquiao and Brook is on their wish list.
