Amir Khan returns to action tonight to take on Billy Dib in Jeddah.
Khan is back in the ring for the first time since his April defeat to Terence Crawford and has vowed to quit boxing should he lose again this evening.
The Bolton fighter was originally scheduled to meet Neeraj Goyat in a bout billed as ‘Pakistan versus India.'
Goyat was forced to pull out however after suffering serious injuries in a car accident in June.
A replacement was quickly drafted in, with 32-year-old Dib stepping up. Khan simply cannot afford another defeat tonight.
