During an interview with a Pakistani news channel in London, Amir Khan recalled his meeting with the COAS. He shared that the General has a vision to take the country forward in all aspects, including sports and education.
“Meeting Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir was amazing. He’s very good and honest. He’s an amazing guy,” said Amir Khan.
“He is a visionary who wants Pakistan to progress, he wants to take Pakistan forward in all areas including in sports and education. I am very proud of him.”
The British-Pakistani boxer then went on to call General Asim Munir the best army chief ever to serve Pakistan.
“In my honest opinion, General Asim Munir is Pakistan’s best army chief. He’s candid, very real and I am proud of Pakistan for picking someone like him,” he added.
Amir Khan also expressed pride over being conferred the honorary rank of captain by the Pakistan Army earlier this year.
“I was made the honorary captain of the army and that was amazing. I have been told that I am the only athlete in Pakistan and around the world who wore the uniform of the Pakistan Army. It’s a big honor for me,” he remarked.
