Your support makes all the difference.Amir Khan's dream of finally proving himself one of the finest fighters in the world ended in a controversial defeat when he was stopped in the sixth round after a low blow by the great Terence Crawford at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Fighting to also become a two-weight world champion by adding the WBO welterweight title to his impressive list of honours, Khan had long pursued this opportunity which has likely ended his career at the highest level, leaving him with few remaining lucrative options.
A domestic fight with long-term rival Kell Brook will appeal until either retires, but for the 32-year-old Khan - groomed for greatness since winning an Olympic silver medal in 2004 aged 17 - his successful time as an attraction in the US may have passed.

Felix Verdejo vs Bryan Vasquez (Lightweight)
So here comes the first of the televised undercard bouts. Verdejo was a very highly-touted prospect before suffering a shock loss to Ines Antonio Lozada Torres but has since returned impressively.
Round 1: Verdejo 0-1 Vasquez
It's a great start to the bout with both fighters coming out fast. Vasquez catches Verdejo off-guard early with a series of snapping jabs, before the Puerto Rican responds with a right-hand. But it's the older and significantly smaller man, Vasquez, who seemed to have settled into the fight better thus far.
Vasquez's wife, Hanna Gabriel, is running his corner, instructing him through every second of the round. Gabriel is a former two-weight world champion and became the first woman to knock down now undisputed champion Claressa Shields.
Round 2: Verdejo 0-2 Vasquez
Another promising round for Vasquez who is the quicker to the punch. Can he keep it up?
Verdejo is showing glimmers of finding his range, but it's still all very off-key from the Puerto Rican thus far, who is trying to put all his might into every punch.
Round 3: Verdejo 1-2 Vasquez
Better from Verdejo who manages to find his range with the jab to stop Vasquez jumping inside and unleashing quick combinations.
The Puerto Rican adds a right-hand but the success is rather sporadic for the time being.
Round 4: Verdejo 2-2 Vasquez
Trouble for Vasquez who appears to have suffered an injury to his left shoulder. He's not able to throw as many jabs and there's significantly less conviction on them meaning Verdejo is able to connect with some cleaner punches, the majority though are still missing wildly.
Verdejo has a nasty cut underneath his left-eye which his team looking concerned about. The doctor peers in during the break between rounds but there's no danger of the fight being stopped because of it.
Round 5: Verdejo 3-2 Vasquez
Verdejo finally connects with a flush right-hand in what was comfortably the clearest round of the fight so far. Vasquez's output has dropped dramatically since the injury to that left arm and it's hard to see how he can deter the Puerto Rican.
Round 6: Verdejo 4-2 Vasquez
More of the same in that round with Vasquez looking less and less dangerous. He does clip Verdejo with a nice right-hand towards the end of the round though to remind him that he's there to win, and not just attempt to see out the 10 rounds.
Round 7: Verdejo 5-2 Vasquez
Vasquez offering very little in that round as Verdejo looks to start throwing his punches in combinations. He may be winning comfortably, but it's a far from impressive performance from the Puerto Rican who misses with so many wild punches as he tries to force a knockout.
