Amir Khan: I Want Maidana, I Told Them To Get Me The Fight!

Amir’s hospital visit is a real tonic for poorly youngsters 29 May 2010

YOUNG patients got the surprise of their life when world champion Amir Khan visited them at Royal Bolton Hospital.
The Bolton boxer, who is now a global superstar following his first fight in America earlier this month, took time to talk to the youngsters and parents in the children’s ward yesterday.
Amir spent more than an hour chatting to youngsters, doctors, nurses and staff, signing autographs and posing for pictures.
He also took his world championship belt along for children to see up close.

Amir said: “It’s a good thing, being here. I was treated here in 1987 when I was only about six months old.
“I had a chest infection and I was in intensive care.”
He added: “It’s good to come back and put a smile on the kids’ faces. The days can get a bit boring here for youngsters.
“Even though you’re a global star, you can’t forget your roots. My feet are still on the ground.”

Amir spoke to fiveyear- old Cameron Monaghan, from Radcliffe, who is recovering from a hip operation.
The delighted youngster said: “I shook his hand and he sat on my bed.”
His mum, Jessica Bottomley, said: “He was dead excited and he was amazed by Amir’s belt.”

He also posed for a picture with Kulsoon Selar, aged five, from Deane. Kulsoon said: “I liked meeting him, it was very exciting.”
Her mother, Aziza Selar, added: “He’s got a very good personality. It is good that he comes back to visit youngsters in Bolton.”
Another patient who had her photograph taken with the champ was Jade Carson, aged eight.

Senior matron for paediatrics, Jayne Monaghan, said: “It was fantastic having Amir here. I don’t know who was more excited, the children or the staff. It is really impressive that someone like Amir can take the time to come and see us here.

It is great for the hospital.

 

Khan is a ****ing tool.

 

Good article, people find it easier to focus on the negative aspects of Amir Khan, and not his charity work.

 

Khan is an absolute ****ing tosser of a man.

 

What you expect and what you get are polar opposites, moron. Good thing you don't get paid to think.

Tell your savior Amir Con to try again when Maidana is healthy. Oh wait...

 

I don't say his work is bad but sometimes you have to look at both sides of the coin... Don 't let the media fool you, they show you what they want you to see...

Maybe visiting the hospital is good media attention/good publicity for him or so? I dunno...

Angelina Jolie isn't adopting so many children for nothing, it's good publicity man :deal

 

This is what education under a Labour leadership was like.

"apponent" ffs.atsch

 

It was good publicity for him, but doesn't negate the fact the kids at the hospital got a boost out of his visit, serves all parties well.

 

Exactly what I mean with both sides of the coin :good

 

Yeah, we want some new politics, with David Laws leading the charge.

 

The only trash talk I like is the stuff with a bit of humor, Toney, Hamed, Ali (The relaxed version, not the hyped one).

Now Khan looks like he's turning into Mayweather. I like the lad and have supported him for a long time but if this **** keeps up I'll no longer consider myself as a fan. I'll continue to admire his ability but I'll just dislike him and won't bat an eyelid when he gets beat.

 

Khan is a complete ******, I can't wait to see his ass get knocked the **** out again.

 

I love it all Khan haters are pissed :yep

Yo brother Khan keep it up :good

He trains and now fights in the U.S time to call and trash talk all these fighers up.

More hype and trash talk bulids fights up and more money for him at the end of day.

 

As far as everyone knows hes gonna fight a lightweight...Biotch! ****er is as tall as Margarito godamit.
