British boxer Amir Khan prepared something special for his upcoming boxing fight with Devon Alexander at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Saturday night. We’re not talking about strategy, but about his style. He will wear shorts crafted with 24 carat gold thread, worth between £20,000 – £30,000 ($31,300 – $47,000). Khan’s shorts will be the most expensive in boxing history. “I want our baby to be able to say one day that her father was a great champion,” Khan said, who says wearing the shorts will be homely and touching.
Genuine 24 carat gold thread woven through a waist band supporting white nappa leather trunks with crocodile trim. The trunks were made specifically for the fight against Alexander.
