British boxing ace Amir Khan to arrive Pakistan on Wednesday

     British boxing champion Amir Khan is arriving in Pakistan today (Wednesday) to participate in the concluding ceremony of the Benazir Bhutto International Boxing Tournament. The Pakistani-origin boxer became the WBA champion after defeating Andreas Kotelnik in July last year at the age of 22, making him Britain's third-youngest world champion after Naseem Hamed and Herbie Hide, the Daily Times reports. He was previously in the lightweight division, where he held the Commonwealth, WBO Inter-Continental and WBA International titles. He was also the youngest British Olympic boxing medallist when he won a silver medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics at the age of 17. He will stay in Pakistan along with his parents from January 6 to 11.
