JEDDAH: Pakistan-origin British boxer Amir Khan knocked out Australia’s Billy Dib in the fourth round of the match at King Abdullah Sports City, Saudi Arabia in wee hours on Saturday.
The 32-year-old former world champion's first venture in Saudi Arabia ended with a convincing victory over Australian Billy Dib. He dominated the fight in all four rounds with his quick and perfect moves.
Sharing his words after winning the Super Boxing League competition, Amir Khan said that he enjoyed the fight in Saudi Arabia.
