JEDDAH – Amir Khan on Saturday knocked out Australia’s Billy Dib in the fourth round of the match at King Abdullah Sports City.
Relentless from the outset, Khan floored Dib in the second round with a left hook. Dib kept on struggling and at no point matched Khan’s superior speed and prowess.
Khan continued dominating him with a rapid combination of punches, handing him another forceful left hook in the third round that shook him, but he still remained on his feet.
Pakistan’s former army chief General Raheel Sharif was among the guests. He felicitated and embraced the boxer on his stunning victory.
The 32-year-old former world champion was initially scheduled to face India’s Neeraj Goyat who was later ruled out due to injuries in a car crash, last month.
Pakistan-origin British boxer earned £7 million for the fight in Jeddah. The win against Dib has extended the pro record of Khan, who now has 34 wins and fives losses.
