Boxing Star Amir Khan Knocks Out Would-Be Car Thieves, Becomes New Chuck Norris Oct 9th 2012, 22:34 Amir Khan was about to be robbed, but decided to fend off an armed gang and knock out one of the thugs with his bare hands instead.  The Telegraph (h/t Off the Bench) reports the boxer and his brother Haroon were about to be robbed when Amir, 25, went to his training to take out one of the thugs.  Um, that's a little too close to the plot of Con Air to be real. Reportedly, the two fended off the rest of the armed gang—which totaled six men—by simply boxing their way out.  And that's kind of what happens in the James Woods' movie Diggstown.  Dolph Lundgren, Arnold Schwarzenegger and any other legendary action hero all answer to Amir Khan now.  The brothers were about to head back home after a night out and found a pack of thugs blocking their £100,000 Range Rover.  Here is what a bystander had for us. One (of the men) slapped Amir and clipped him on the lip but Amir pulled back and knocked him out cold. Then five of them went for Amir and Haroon but they stood their ground and these guys got dropped one by one.  There is no more awesome statement attributed to two brothers than, "these guys got dropped one by one." My brother and I think we are tough cookies when we beat Gears of War. Yet, here are these two really doing some damage.  Of course, this was hardly the route Khan, a former light welterweight champion, should have taken. His father expressed as much, via Off the Bench. Asked yesterday how his hands were, Khan smiled and showed his undamaged fists to a packed news conference in London. “They are fine,” said Khan, although he refused to comment further on the event. His father, Shah Khan, was not impressed by the incident. “I’ve told them it takes a bigger man to walk away. Let them have the car,” he said. We have to say Khan and his brother, also a boxer, were very lucky. There is no telling what an armed gang could have done if the same circumstance played out on any other night.  We could very well be talking about something very somber at the moment.  With that said, we have to give much praise for Khan sending away nefarious villains just as we have seen in so many movies.  This goes as a warning to any would-be thieves. You never know when you are going to rob an absolute badass.  Follow me on Twitter for more insanity.  Follow @gabezal Read more Boxing news on BleacherReport.com
