UK-based Pakistani Boxer Amir Khan on Sunday visited Data Darbar and laid floral wreath on the grave of Abu Al Hassan Ali Hajvery.

Khan arrived in Pakistan on Friday to lend his support to the victims of the Peshawar terror attack.

Speaking to journalists, Khan expressed his grief and sorrow over the incident and urged the government to eliminate terrorism by promoting education and sports among Pakistani youths.

“There is so much boxing talent in Pakistan. I have a desire to build a boxing academy here to un-tap this talent and give them training of international standard,” he said.

The former world light welterweight champion and Olympic silver medallist said he would also visit Peshawar to meet the families of the victims of the attack.
