TO some Amir Khan is just another flash, multimillionaire boxer… but I saw the real side of him only minutes after we met. Having raked in a whopping £60MILLION just from fighting, he's been able to afford a life that few can even dream of. Khan's been pictured behind the wheel of fast cars, welcomed cameras into homes as big as hotels and loves to wear expensive jewellery.

On his rise to becoming one of British boxing's greats he would also trash-talk opponents. With his beautiful, successful wife on his arm, it's little wonder some boxing fans find it hard to relate to the cocky lad from Bolton. So I was floored when I met him.

I spoke to the British legend in Dubai - where he now lives with his family - while he was supporting his protege Haider Khan - of no relation - in his MMA fight. The last time I interviewed Khan was in Saudi Arabia last February - albeit briefly - about a potential comeback and the legacy he's left.

A year on, and not much changed as I quizzed him on similar topics. But this time I got to see the kind-hearted nature of Khan, who single-handedly revived Great Britain's Olympic boxing hopes in 2004. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS.

Khan agreed to leave his VIP cageside seat to speak to me, while I sprinted from the press area to ensure I didn't miss my one-to-one opportunity. But as I tried to take Khan backstage to find a quieter place to talk - security stopped me in my tracks.
