Amir Khan When he was barely a teenager, Amir Khan wanted to start his fighting career. There was only one hiccup: There was no amateur level in muay Thai for the native of Singapore, so he didn’t have a chance to cut his teeth against some non-professional competition and warm up to the idea of fighting. He just had to grow up immediately. “Seconds before the fight, I was so scared that I was regretting my decision to fight,” Khan wrote to MMAjunkie in an email. “Fortunately, I won … with a knee in the first round.” It was a fast start to a fighting career that’s on the cusp of big things. After losing his pro MMA debut, Khan has won two straight in the first round and is set to take on Shannon Wiratchai (3-1) at ONE Championship 26 on April 24 in the Philippines.
