Amir Khan has a released an official statement to his fans across the globe following his knockout loss over the weekend. Below, find the statement in its entirety as Khan shares his thoughts on the loss and what's next.

I guess that's boxing, where one punch can change everything, it's the reason so many fans love the sport. Many fighters down the years have bounced back from defeat to prove their greatness and that's exactly what I intend to do.
I've never shirked any challenge or refused to fight anyone in my division even though it would have been easy for me to do so. Some may say that attitude is the wrong one to have but I've always wanted to please the fan...
