Amir Khan has struggled to find a foothold in ONE Championship’s lightweight division as of late, but when he returns to action on October 9 at ONE: Reign of Dynasties against Rahul Raju, he will be competing for much more than a victory.
Khan’s father, Tajudeen, was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer, lymphoma of the brain, and given 3-6 months to live.
Not wanting to live out his final months in suffering, Tajudeen has foregone chemotherapy treatments. A decision his family is respecting. It will make Khan’s bout on Friday one of the last times he will ever be able to perform in front of his father.
