Pakistani-born British former boxer Aamir Khan has reportedly left Pakistan after his $100,000 academy got shut down. He was also disappointed at the lack of boxing competitions in Pakistan.

Aamir Khan said in a video message, “I keep coming to Pakistan, earlier I had an academy here. Now children are messaging me that we have to train, have a boxing fight, why is there no boxing in Pakistan?”

He said, “I spoke to the officials and the government but still nothing happened, my gym was completely new and very clean, but it was closed.”

“I am very disappointed with the government’s lack of attention to other sports including boxing in Pakistan. I will be flying back to England tomorrow, very upset that over a hundred thousand dollars I spent on the gym are now ruined.”
