British professional boxer and two-time world champion, Amir Khan, will be in Qatar to support his fellow countrymen at the AIBA World Championships on Friday.

The news of his arrival was confirmed through Khan's official Twitter account early Friday morning.

Khan currently holds the WBC Silver welterweight title and has fought at three weight classes: lightweight, light welterweight, and welterweight.

Khan, who has Pakistani origins, is also the youngest British Olympic boxing medalist, winning silver at the 2004 Athens Olympics, at the age of 17. He is also one of the youngest ever British world champions, winning the WBA light welterweight title at the age of 22.

Another world boxing champion, Manny Pacquiao, was also in Doha yesterday to attend the championship. Pacquiao said Khan could be his potential opponent for his last and final career bout.

Which of these boxers are you a fan of - Manny or King Khan? Would you like to see them take each other on in the ring?
