Where's Haroon Khan, wasn't he hoping to box for the UK or for Pakistan at the Olympics? Anyone follow his amateur career?

Does he intend to turn professional? If so, what division would he be?

hes muk and living of the khan name..

His a very good boxer in his own right ! He might turn pro under his brother soon, but there's only so far living of his brothers name will get you, this is the hurt business and there's no short cut to excellence ! Of course there's easier routes but the truth will tell in the end !

He lost in this years aba's to the eventual finalist.

He's Muk???

He beat the best in Britain and Olympic qualifier to win a medal at the commonwealths, and how can he be living off his brother’s name? Ridiculous statement. He's turning pro with the Khans because why would he go to anybody else; it's his brother’s promotion company. He may get preferential options but that has to be natural. If I had to employ somebody I would prefer to employ my brother and pay him better than the other tradesmen if I could.
I think he’ll do well. He’s obviously not as gifted as his sibling but he definitely has talent.

Haroon is alright and hasn't said too much, he is a decent boxer with more of a pro style than his brother. Not his fault that his brother has done well for himself. Leave him be, he won't do as well as Amir but deserves a break if and when he has a go.

What weight division would Haroon box in?

Does anybody have his amateur record?

He would probably be a bantamweight. Beat Selby at flyweight at the Commonwealth Games.
He does have a pro style, but he did train in pro gyms from very young. He's sparred some top Mexicans at the Wildcard
