Amir Khan will donate a pair of 30,000 pounds ($47,007) shorts to the
Peshawar school in Pakistan where 132 children were killed by
Taliban gunmen earlier this week.
Khan
wore the shorts, featuring a waistband made from 24-carat gold
thread, in a unanimous points victory over American Devon Alexander
in Las Vegas which helped him retain the WBC silver welterweight
title at the weekend.
"It
was just very sad to see innocent kids being killed," the Briton
told BBC radio
on Thursday. "I can only imagine what the parents are going
through.
"I
want to donate the shorts for the Peshawar cause, rebuild a school
and strengthen security around the area.
"We
are very lucky in England. We have good security and I will be able
to send my little girl to school and know she will be fine but in
Pakistan you cannot do that," said Khan.
"They
send the kids outside the house and do not know if they are going to
come back."
