British Muslim boxing champ Amir Khan has called on British Muslims to stand against extremism.

Khan’s comments came just days after a Sky News British Muslims Poll found that 40% of British Muslims partly blame police and MI5 for radicalizing young people.

Khan became the WBA World light-welterweight champion on 18 July 2009, becoming Britain’s third-youngest world champion after Naseem Hamed and Herbie Hide.

Being a Muslim of Pakistani origin, Khan proudly said that following Islam has helped him with his sport, giving him inspiration to pursue his goals.
