Khan boxes for Pakistan

World boxing champion Amir Khan on Thursday promised to help bring international sports back to Pakistan, saying he would try to convince English cricketers to tour the insurgency-hit nation.
"I am pleased to be back in the country of my forefathers and when people see me touring Pakistan it will put in their minds that it's a safe place to play," Khan, a Briton of Pakistani descent, told a press conference.
Khan, who became World Boxing Association (WBA) light-welterweight champion last year, is in Karachi as a guest for the 20-nation Benazir Bhutto International Boxing Championship, named after the slain former prime minister.
