    Is he still contracted to wear these? If so, for how many more fights?

    As we know, Khan’s not too keen on them. He was delighted, last time round, when Diaz forced him to don the Everlast ones – a pair he prefers wearing.

    Or is it just a per-fight thing?

    Yeah, thankfully they sent in 10-ounce gloves instead of the 8-ounce they were supposed to (I think).

    dont know but it would be intresting to find out.
    i would of thought he would have to wear them until his contract with reebok runs out or some one breaks in to reebok offices and steals the contract:good

    No idea how long the Contract is, but I'm pretty damn sure they pay him a a hell of A LOT to wear them. The amount of people I've witnessed saying 'I want to buy them gloves' purely because Amir Khan wears 'em has been pretty big.

    He could at least get them to re-design them into the way he wants them. Pretty rediculous when you're the boss, but Amir is on a leash after all.

    Ok, I've just found out that he is Contracted to wear the full kit for another 2 years, but the Gloves can change if they aren't right.

    Yes, but nothing major at all. Just started a few months back at a newly opened Boxing Gym.

    Enjoying it so far :good

    Thanks, Laz.

    Does 'gloves can change' mean:

    a) Khan can choose to wear a different brand if he doesn't like them.
    b) Reebok will amend the current design, and have Khan wear the new ones.
