      by

      KELL BROOK has raged at Amir Khan for his “disgusting” positive drugs test.Khan, 36, who retired after losing to Brook by stoppage last year, has been handed a two-year doping ban after the banned substance ostarine was found in his system following the loss.

      And Brook, 36, did not pull any punches in his assessment of his long-time rival.
      Speaking to iFL TV, he said: “I heard about it today, when everyone else heard.
      “I’m disgusted, it’s been over a year since we boxed, it makes me feel sick.
      “I’ve got three beautiful kids. He’s gone in there to try and hurt me. It’s a f***ing joke.”

      Khan has claimed ingestion of the banned substance was not intentional.
      Ostarine is a drug designed to have similar effects to testosterone, used by athletes and bodybuilders to boost muscle mass and performance.
      However, it has also been used to treat muscle-wasting diseases and osteoporosis.
      The result of Khan’s fight against Brook has now been wiped out.
      Most read in Boxing
      His ban has been backdated to start immediately after the 2022 fight and will run until April 2024.
      Khan has broken his silence on the matter, telling Sky Sports: “I’ve never cheated.
      “I’m a retired fighter… you can see by my performance. My performance against Kell Brook wasn’t the best.
      “I lost the fight… if I’d gone in and knocked him out if would be different.
      “I’ve never cheated in my life… I was the one who wanted testing on the fight.
      “The amount that was in my system could have been from shaking hands.”
      Khan continued: “I didn’t know what the drug was in my system.
      “I’ve never cheated in my life… I’d never cheat.
      “Like I said, I am a retired fighter. I’ve got a two-year ban now which is quite strange and funny that they’ve banned me… I’m already retired anyway.”
      On a potential return to the ring, Khan added: “[I’ve got] no comeback plans at all.
      “But, like I said, I’ve never cheated and never will. That’s just not something I would do.”
      UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) earlier confirmed the news in a statement.
      It read: “Professional boxer and Olympic medallist Amir Khan has been banned from all sport for two years following Anti-Doping Rule Violations (ADRVs) for the presence and use of a Prohibited Substance.
      “On 19 February 2022, UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) collected an In-Competition urine Sample from Mr Khan after his fight against Kell Brook at the Manchester Arena.
      “Mr Khan’s Sample returned an Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF) for ostarine.
      “UKAD notified Mr Khan of the AAF on 6 April 2022 and that he may have committed ADRVs under the 2021 UK Anti-Doping Rules (ADR).
      “UKAD issued him with a Provisional Suspension from all Code-compliant sport on the same date.
      “On 20 July 2022, UKAD charged Mr Khan with the commission of two ADRVs: Presence of a Prohibited Substance and Use of a Prohibited Substance.
      “Mr Khan accepted the violations charged but maintained that his ingestion of ostarine was not ‘intentional’.”
      UKAD went on to reveal the case was referred to the National Anti-Doping Panel – with the charges upheld.
      The statement continued: “As a consequence his case was referred to the National Anti-Doping Panel to be considered by an independent tribunal.
      “Mr Khan’s case was heard by the independent tribunal on 24 January 2023 and in its written decision dated 21 February 2023, the panel found both violations proved, concluded that Mr Khan had established that they were not ‘intentional’ within the meaning of ADR Article 10.2.3 and imposed a two-year ban on him.
      “The panel also disqualified Mr Khan’s result from the bout against Mr Brook.
      “Mr Khan’s two-year ban is deemed to have commenced on 6 April 2022 (the date his Provisional Suspension was imposed) and will expire on 5 April 2024.”
      In the weeks leading up to the Brook fight, Khan revealed he was yet to be drug-tested and that he was chasing officials to get it done.
      He called the whole experience “a bit strange” as he was desperate for a “fair fight”.
      Khan retired in 2022 with a record of 34-6 following defeat to Brook, bringing down the curtain on an illustrious career.

      The Bolton star was catapulted into the spotlight after bagging silver at the Athens Olympic Games in 2004.
      Khan won his first 18 fights but lost the biggest fights of his career against the likes of Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford and Brook. More

      Eddie Hearn reveals all over his secret Conor McGregor talks with UFC legend at Black Forge pub

      by

      EDDIE HEARN has opened up on his recent meeting with Conor McGregor – which he’s likened to a “press conference”.The Matchroom Boxing chief meet with McGregor in February to discuss the MMA superstar potentially being involved in Katie Taylor’s long-awaited homecoming in Ireland.

      The meeting took place at McGregor’s Black Forge Inn pub in Dublin, where Hearn was blown away by the UFC’s poster boy.
      During an appearance on The MMA Hour, he said: “I know everyone’s got their opinion. I always take people how I see them, right?
      “So you hear this, you hear that, you hear this, you hear that.
      “I had [lunch with McGregor] — I don’t know how long it was, an hour-and-a-half, two hours — just the funniest time.

      “I love great energy, and this guy is just a pure character. It was like being at a press conference.
      “He comes in, and just the energy and the enthusiasm — that’s one thing that I took out of is, you know that in boxing, and this obviously sits alongside MMA as well, you fall in love with the sport.”
      A fired-up McGregor spent most of their meeting standing up and even ordered a steak while he was on his feet.
      Hearn continued: “He is so passionate about boxing, about mixed martial arts — he wouldn’t sit down.

      “He’s ordered a steak, he’s standing up, he’s showing me how he’d fight this guy and how fight that guy, and he’s telling me about the Nate Diaz fight, when he’s on his back and he’s got a bad knee.
      “It’s like a million miles an hour. But he’s like, ‘We should do this, we should do that.
      “‘Let’s do this. Let’s make it happen.’
      “I love him. I think he’s such a character. In life, you want to be around people where you go, ‘I’ll never forget you.’
      “I’ll never forget that moment with Conor McGregor.”
      McGregor, 34, has been accused by some of piggybacking on Taylor and trying to improve his image by helping facilitate her return to the Emerald Isle.

      But Hearn insists The Notorious genuinely has Taylor’s best interests at heart.
      The 43-year-old said: “I know that there is an element to everything that everybody does about publicity and exposure, but he has a genuine passion for Katie.
      “He loves Katie Taylor. He thinks she’s amazing.
      “She’s a hero in that country, and he wanted to help make it happen for her, for Ireland as well.

      “And I’m sure he gets [bad press], because everybody does when they reach those kinds of heights, but I had a great time. I really did.”
      McGregor is set to return to the UFC later this year for a blockbuster showdown with Michael Chandler – although a date for their clash has yet to be finalised. More

      Inside KSI’s controversies from his ‘rape joke scandal’ to racism storm that’s seen him take social media break

      by

      KSI recently hit the headlines again after being embroiled in a racism storm that has seen him take a social media break.The YouTuber-turned-boxer said the word “p***” in a Sidemen video – the group he founded alongside six other creators.

      The British rapper, real name Olajide William Olatunji, made the slur during a video with his YouTube group, where they were playing a Countdown challenge.
      From his selection of letters, KSI caused outrage by creating a four-letter derogatory word for people of South Asian origin.
      The video has been taken down and he issued an apology for an offence he may have caused.
      However, fans have criticised the 29-year-old despite his apology, claiming he should have known better.
      Read More on KSI
      And this isn’t the first time the popular YouTuber has found himself in hot water, having courted headlines for a number of wrong reasons over the years.
      ‘Rape jokes’
      KSI was accused of trivialising rape by making what was referred to as “rape faces” in a series of his online videos.
      The clips show the star in a variety of settings, turning to camera with a menacing expression and making sexually suggestive gestures.
      Many said pulling his “rape face”, which would regularly appear in his videos, trivialised sexual assault.
      Most read in Boxing
      He apologised for his past content in 2020 after a backlash from women’s charities and social media users.
      Sexist behaviour
      KSI sparked controversy in 2012 when he asked women at Eurogamer Expo what STIs they have.
      He asked one woman what was her “favourite STI”, to which she reluctantly replied “chlamydia”.
      KSI then asked her: “Is that because you have it?”
      Another part of the clip saw him quiz a woman at the gaming conference about the size of her breasts, stating: “I can’t see them?”
      That video has seen been removed from YouTube, with KSI later expressing his regret over the incident. 
      He said: “I’m in shock. I can’t believe I was like that. People enjoyed that video?!
      “I can see now why I got into a lot of trouble. I was such a virgin back then.
      “I think if I do anything remotely close to this again, I will change my whole outfit so I can show people that I’m a different character.”
      He was banned for life from Eurogamer Expo events.
      Microsoft axing
      In 2013, Microsoft severed all ties with KSI after the company was criticised for employing him to promote the launch of Xbox One.
      KSI had performed a song with three other artists but Microsoft faced backlash from fans.
      Widespread anger and concern over his involvement saw Microsoft vow not to work with him again at any point.
      Offensive remarks
      In another YouTube video, uploaded in August 2014, KSI asks a Page 3 model about her sex life, while repeatedly calling her a sl*t in the voiceover.
      He has also since apologised for his behaviour with a spokesman saying he had made a “mistake as a teenager”.
      While in 2021, KSI issued an apology after being accused of being transphobic something he strongly denied.
      Suicide controversy
      In 2018, KSI released a new diss track music video with a Logan Paul look-alike ahead of their boxing fight.
      The video was made in reference to Logan’s scandalous Suicide Forest footage which landed his fellow YouTuber in very hot water.
      Read More on The Sun
      Despite how controversial that video was for his Prime drink partner – who was then a rival – KSI decided to make light of the situation.
      KSI’s representatives have been contacted for comment. More

      John Fury tears into ‘decrepit’ Wilder after latest Tyson cheating allegations and says Jake Paul handled loss better

      JOHN FURY has launched a blistering attack on Deontay Wilder following the American’s latest cheating allegations against Tyson.Former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder accused Tyson of cheating in their rematch by placing egg weights in his gloves – a claim he responded to by declaring the American had “lost his marbles!”

      Despite having a nice meeting with Tyson in Saudi Arabia in February, The Bronze Bomber once again branded his old foe a “cheater” – an insult which dad John hasn’t taken lightly.
      He told The Mirror: “I just think Wilder is a horrible, decrepit man I just don’t like him at all. He can’t take a loss.”
      John, 58, insists he wouldn’t let Wilder’s words slide if he was a few years younger and reckons Tyson should’ve hit him in Saudi.
      He continued: “If I was a young man like Tyson, we would have a roll around on the carpet.

      Amir Khan goes from Olympic hero, world champion and I’m A Celebrity star to receiving two-year drugs ban from boxing

      by

      AMIR KHAN will have to channel every bit of his fighting spirit to return from his latest scandal.The Bolton boxer, 36, has been BANNED from the sport for two years after testing positive for an illegal substance following his bout with Kell Brook last year.

      The epic rise of Amir Khan began at the 2004 OlympicsCredit: Getty Images – Getty
      Khan retired following the defeat to his Brit rival – for which he pocketed a staggering £5MILLION.
      However, it has since emerged he tested positive for ostarine, in the aftermath of that loss.
      Khan has claimed ingestion of the banned substance was NOT intentional.
      Ostarine is a drug designed to have similar effects to testosterone, used by athletes and bodybuilders to boost muscle mass and performance.
      read more boxing news
      However, it has also been used to treat muscle-wasting diseases and osteoporsis.
      Khan has enjoyed plenty of highs and endured lows in his career before in and out of the ring.
      And it began so promisingly…
      Olympic hero
      Khan rose to prominence in extraordinary fashion at the 2004 Olympics.
      Most read in Boxing
      He was Great Britain’s only representative in boxing in Athens – but that didn’t faze him.
      At just 17, he on a silver medal in the lightweight category – becoming Britain’s youngest medallist since Carl Jones in 1976.
      He lost in the final to Cuban Mario Kindelan, who had also beaten him in the pre-Olympic warm-up bouts.
      A staggering eight million viewers tuned in to watch Khan fight on the BBC.
      It was clear from then a star was born.
      Champion
      Khan’s rise escalated quickly when he turned pro.
      In his 13th fight he defeated Willie Limond to become the Commonwealth lightweight champion.
      Then in 2008, he knocked out Martin Kristjansen – landing the WBO Inter-Continental lightweight title.
      Surprisingly knocked out in just 54 seconds by Breidis Prescott in his 19th fight, meant Khan lost his invincibility.
      But like any true warrior, he would win back his belt with victory over Mexican Marco Antonio Barrera.

      Khan went unbeaten for two years until a loss to Lamont Petersen, who was later stripped off Khan’s WBA belt for failing a drugs test. Another defeat in his comeback fight against Danny Garcia in 2012 saw Khan finally lose that WBA belt.
      On a world scale, losses to Canelo Alvarez in 2016 and Terence Crawford in 2019 would show Khan was left wanting at this stage of this life.
      But there were other things going on in his life.
      Finding love
      In 2012, Khan was introduced to the beautiful Faryal Makhdoom at a party in New York.
      They immediately hit it off – with their relationship beginning to flourish.
      Faryal was just 19-years-old when the pair started dating and she wed Amir just a year later.
      The 2013 New York ceremony was a lavish affair and was followed by a second celebration in the UK with 4,000 guests.
      A year later, they welcomed their first child together – daughter Lamaisah born in 2014.
      A second daughter, Alayna would follow in 2018, and then Muhammad in 2020.
      But, their romance was far from perfect.

      Cheating allegations
      Khan allegedly slept with beautician Sophia Hammani, 22, on May 10, 2018 – just 17 days after his wife gave birth to their daughter Alayna.
      Sophia exclusively told The Sun that she spent the night with the boxer in his hotel room after meeting him in a London club.
      The boxer slammed the claims on Twitter saying, “What total nonsense!
      “She was wanting a pic but was told to leave by security due to her being too drunk. IMO that’s the reason she sold a story.
      “Quite strange at the fact that there is no photos of us together.
      Those cheating allegations rocked wife Faryal who unfollowed him on Instagram.
      But it wasn’t the first time that he was accused of playing away.
      In January 2018, Sandy Hunter claimed they had a passionate affair and he has also been accused of sharing sex cam chats.
      The couple briefly split in August 2017, when explosive tweets from Amir Khan’s Twitter account claimed he has split from wife.
      The sportsman even accused her of cheating on him with fellow boxer Anthony Joshua.

      The initial tweet on the boxer’s account read: “So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best.”
      After a brief meeting at the couple’s marital home in Bolton, model Faryal hit back, accusing him of being the unfaithful party as the pair’s relationship breakdown played out on social media.
      However they reconciled and posted a loved-up Instagram pic.
      I’m a Celeb…
      Khan’s sports star status has already seen him crossover to celebrity – appearing on TV shows, including Countdown, Beat the Star, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and Celebrity Juice.
      But it was I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! where he would find new fans and get his first taste of reality TV.
      He arrived in Brisbane as the highest-paid contestant – beating Katie Price’s previous record – earning a reported £400,000. Although it was reported he donated part of his fee to Barnado’s, for whom he is an ambassador.
      Khan would provide good value for money – finishing fifth overall in the jungle.
      He caused much hilarity in the Bushtucker Trial ‘Critter-cal Rescue’, where he had collect tokens from boxes containing snakes and giant beetles.
      This year, he has been confirmed to appear on the spin-off I’m a Celebrity… South Africa.
      That comes after Amir and Faryal have become reality TV stars in their own right.

      Khan recently revealed: “I feared my kids would grow up without their dad.”
