British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan met with Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir today to discuss the issue over the takeover of his boxing training center in Islamabad by FC officials.
Khan’s visit comes as tensions escalate between his foundation, the Amir Khan Foundation, and local authorities that have taken over the training facility.
The meeting was held at the General Headquarters in Rawalpindi, where the renowned Pakistani boxer addressed concerns over the takeover of his boxing academy that he set up in Islamabad with his investment, back in 2016.
Amir Khan, presented the case for the training center during his meeting with COAS, emphasizing its potential to nurture young boxing talent in Pakistan.
Last month, Amir released a video on social media and emphasized that he needed help from the government to vacate the FC officials from the premises of the academy otherwise the dream of young boxers and his efforts to support them would go in vain.
He thanked the COAS expressing gratitude on X, stating, “It was an honor to meet General Syed Asim Munir Ahmed Shah, NI (M), Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Pakistan Army at General Headquarters Rawalpindi.”

Where is the sports minister of Pakistan?. Why Army chief is resolving issues of boxers now?. He has so much free time or what?. It is my request to Army Chief to increase border security and do real job. Leave the rest to others.
King is King my friend, there intervention is already exist in every single department.
Then why not the Boxing or any sports.
Why not? because it isnt his job. That is the issue with country that a higher grade office thinks ALL the departments in the country with lower grade officers are under his/her jurisdiction.
Such culture is prominent in all institutions bus players different hain.
If you are being sarcastic, than it isnt a joke and you should feel sorry for our country.
Looks like general sb is also sports minister
In fact minister of all the departments.
