Boxing promoter Frank Warren urges Amir Khan to retire from boxing after defeating to Terence Crawford.
Amir Khan took a low blow from American WBO world welterweight champion Terence Crawford in the sixth round at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Khan was knocked down in the first round by Crawford and was behind on all three judges’ scorecards when the fight ended.
Crawford – who has held world titles in three weight divisions – drove a left hook into Khan’s groin 47 seconds into the sixth, leaving him in “too much” pain to continue.
Warren told Boxing Scene: "I didn’t hold out too many hopes for Amir Khan in his quest to roll back the years and knock pound for pound star Terence Crawford off his perch. Whether Amir was looking for an early exit in there or not is largely irrelevant looking at the bigger picture. He was being completely outboxed and outfoxed by the highly skilled Crawford and it wasn’t going to end well whichever way it came about. It is Amir’s post-fight rhetoric that should be causing the most concern, where he stated that he cannot end his career on such a note. That is exactly what he should do, while he is still walking, talking and with all his faculties in place. It is not going to get any easier for him and continuing is dangerous territory."
