British boxing sensation Amir Khan, the two-time former world champion and current holder of the WBC Silver welterweight, brought his star qualities to shine on the Doha 2015 World Boxing Championships this week. Inspired by the spirit of the championship being staged in the Middle East the legend stepped into the ring himself for an impromptu coaching session in the Championship’s fanzone at the stunning Ali Bin Hamad Al Attiyah Arena in Doha. 

Much to the amazement of local children Khan worked on their technique and were left the youngsters speechless when they came face to face with their hero. The hype of Khan’s first visit to Qatar as a guest of President of the Qatar Boxing Federation and Executive Director Local Organizing Committee (LOC), Yousuf Ali Al Kazim and AIBA, has confirmed the massive interest in boxing and potential the sport has in Qatar.
