Amir Khan's former opponent reacts to drugs ban after ending up in hospital with brain bleed
One of Amir Khan’s most high-profile opponents has called the British boxing legend ‘just another dirty fighter’ after his drug ban.
‘King’ has been barred from boxing for two years after he was found with ostarine in his system following his Khan insists he’s not a drugs cheat despite being banned for two yearsThe 36-year-old insists he never intentionally ingested the banned substance and UK Anti-Doping accepted his version of events beforeAt the peak of his powers, Khan became a unified light-welterweight champion when he stopped IBF titleholder Zab Judah with a body shot in the fifth round of their July 2011 fight.
Several years later, Judah’s career came to an unfortunate end when he suffered a brain bleed that required surgery following his 2019 fight with Cletus Seldin, who was sanctioned for elevated testosterone levels two years prior.Thankfully, the American made a full recovery but he now has a zero-tolerance approach to drug cheats in boxing and made that much clear while reacting to Khan’s ban.: “Amir Khan is my former opponent and I have love for anyone I’ve shared the ring with.
“I’m grateful for them all. But if the news is true and the UK anti-doping agency has found him guilty then he’s just another dirty guy.
