About us

Amir Khan Foundation

The Amir Khan Foundation was established in 2014.

It aims to provide support to those most in need, at home and abroad. From the building of orphanages in Africa, to disaster relief following the 2015 floods in Cumbria, England, the Amir Khan Foundation if firmly rooted in service to vulnerable communities everywhere.

Since its inception, the Amir Khan Foundation has responded to global emergencies and facilitated developmental projects across the world. The foundation exists to support individuals, families and communities globally, and to offer relief and support during times of hardship, urgent need and upheaval.

Meet the Founder

The Amir Khan Foundation was founded by two-time World Boxing Champion & the UK’s youngest ever Olympic Silver Medallist, Amir Khan, in 2014.

Khan grew up in Bolton and began boxing competitively at age 11. His success soared and he went on to win three English school titles and Gold at the Junior Olympics. Aged just 17, he won Silver at the 2004 Olympics, making him a household name overnight.

At 22, Khan clinched the WBA title and remained victorious for three consecutive years. His slew of victories earned him the title ‘King Khan’ by adoring worldwide fans.

In 2015, Khan received an honorary degree in recognition of his contributions to sport and philanthropy.

Khan was appointed President of the WBC Middle East in late 2020, a role which will see Khan extend and develop boxing in the region.
