What’s next for Aamir Khan after brutal knockout on sixth round of fight with Mexican boxer Saul Alvarez?

  DUBAI – It was a brutal right jab that sent British boxer Aamir Khan knocked out cold on the canvas on the sixth round of his fight with Saul Alvarez on Sunday. The smashing knockout let Alvarez retain his World Boxing Council middleweight title at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, but sent Khan crumbling to the canvas where he lay motionless for a couple of minutes. "I was getting in the ring with a big guy," Khan said at the post-fight interview. "Unfortunately I didn't make it to the end." Earlier in the bout, Khan was putting up a tactical fight—landing combinations and fighting in spurts—before he was caught off guard by the Mexican’s right hand. Post-fight, there were fears that the devastating knockout might have a big effect on Khan psychologically, comparing the defeat to Ricky Hatton’s second-round knockout by Manny Pacquiao in 2009 and Ultimate Fighting Championship superstar Ronda Rousey’s shock defeat to Holly Holm last year. The defeats left both fighters grappling with depression. But Khan allayed those fears after Sunday’s match, taking to Twitter to assure fans. “I’m okay everyone. That’s boxing for you. Congrats to ‪@Canelo monster punch, much love to all the fans!” he posted on Twitter. What’s next for the 29-year-old boxer? “Plenty more huge fights for me, I'm sure my stocks have risen. Hope you all enjoyed the fight. I dared to be great and I'm not going to stop,” Khan said.
