Khan ‘rolling dice’ as promoter with Nigeria fight night

Former boxing world champion Amir Khan is taking a gamble as a promoter by organizing a fight night in Nigeria, a country not known for its boxing events.

Khan, who retired from professional boxing in 2021, is hoping to capitalize on the growing interest in the sport in Nigeria and bring top fighters to showcase their skills in the country.

The fight night, scheduled for August 2022, will feature both local Nigerian fighters and international talent, with Khan himself making an appearance as a special guest.

Despite the risks involved in organizing such an event in a new market, Khan believes that there is a huge potential for the sport to grow in Nigeria and hopes to inspire a new generation of boxers.

Several sponsors have already signed on to support the event, indicating a strong interest in boxing in Nigeria.

Khan’s decision to enter the world of boxing promotion has been met with curiosity and excitement from fans and experts alike, with many eager to see how the event will unfold.

With his experience in the ring and his passion for the sport, Khan is confident that he can make the Nigeria fight night a success and pave the way for more boxing events in the country.

As a former world champion, Khan’s reputation and connections in the boxing world give him an edge as a promoter, helping him secure top talent for the event.

Overall, Khan’s venture into promoting boxing in Nigeria is seen as a bold move that could have a profound impact on the sport in the country and beyond.

Only time will tell if Khan’s gamble pays off, but one thing is certain – the Nigeria fight night is set to be a night to remember for boxing fans around the world.
