Khan lost the final fight of his 40‑bout career in February when he was stopped by his bitter rival Kell Brook – who also announced his retirement this month. I’ve always been against it and I’ve always spoken the truth.” When people bring religion or racism into something I think it’s all bollocks. I’ve got a Jewish brother here, an Indian brother here and a Pakistani brother here. All nations should respect each other and be together.

“If another Asian had made those remarks, some other Asians may have taken it the wrong way and wanted to start a fight. “I’m glad I’m a fighter and I can pack a punch and have a little go if I have to,” Khan said from his home in Bolton. After the terrorist attacks in London in 2005, he chose to speak out and stress that his allegiance lay with Britain and remind people he had been born and raised in Bolton. Khan remembered how his own ethnicity, as a young British boxer with strong family roots in Pakistan, was often attacked. But you still have to take it easy on those things.” If Amir Khan has done it, being Asian and living on chapatis all his life and eating curries, we can do it. But if we see someone doing it, like if they’ve seen me do it, maybe that can inspire and motivate them. But not many Asians become sportsmen and women because we don’t have the diet. “But obviously I changed my way of living. If you put us against a lot of English fighters their diet is a lot better. It’s not the right diet to be a champion. We’re not supposed to be good sportsmen and women. “Look, us Asians are not really meant to be fighters. Asians, when we can’t to a certain extent, give up. There are no Asian footballers but guess what they all say? ‘We won’t get picked because we’re Asian.’ I think that’s a fucking load of bullshit, really. We’re not going to be picked.’ It’s an excuse that all Asians use – that we’re never going to be picked. People used to say: ‘We are Muslim, we are Asian, we can’t make it in boxing. “It’s an amazing platform for them to see what I’ve done and that it’s possible for them to do the same and achieve what I’ve achieved. The company added that its customer relations team was contacting Khan “to learn more about his experience and reinforce the importance of policies implemented for the safety of our customers and crew”.“They all want to try now,” Khan said. The airline said neither Khan nor his colleague had been put on an “internal refuse list” or banned from future travel on American Airlines or its partners.

The statement added that the two passengers had got off the plane without incident, and that police were present as a matter of protocol. “I’m sure there must be cameras on the airplane that they could see, or someone should see, to see that if my colleague really was bad in anyway or caused a scene in a way where he had to be taken off the plane – I’ve never seen this happen before.”Īmerican Airlines said in a statement that before take-off, the aircraft had “returned to the gate to deplane two customers who reportedly refused to comply with repeated crew member requests to stow luggage, place cell phones in airplane mode and adhere to federal face covering requirements”. “Now I have to reschedule another airplane to travel back to training camp which is really upsetting, for no reason this was and I’m just so disgusted that American Airlines would do this to us and ban me from travelling. “They kicked us both off, I was sat on 1A, he was sat on 1B – I find it so disgusting and so disrespectful, I was supposed to go to Colorado Springs for a training camp and now I’m back in New York for another day. I would like to see evidence for any wrong doings! #AAteam #Notallterrorists /d元UfFcYYl- Amir Khan September 18, 2021 Disgusted to be banned by and for not been able to fly to training camp, i got escorted by police off the plane for no reason.
