Boxer Amir Khan met the Chief of Army Staff General Syed Asim Munir today in Islamabad to discuss the takeover of his land for boxing training center by FC officials.
The visit came amid the escalating tensions between the Amir Khan Foundation and local authorities that have taken over the training facility.
The meeting was held at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. The boxer addressed his concerns over the issue and the takeover of his academy, which he set up through his investments in 2016.
Last month, Amir Khan pleaded his case that he needs help to vacate his training facility from FC officials, otherwise the dream of young people and his wish to train them will go in vain.
