I WOULD just like to send out a big thank you to Amir Khan, who I am sure is the pride of Bolton at the moment.

I never watch boxing, but before the Olympics started I had seen a news report on him. I was so impressed by him I put a bet on him. What a fabulous example to young people he is. He made me feel proud to British for the first time in a long time. He is a shining up-and-coming star of the future. Well done Amir.
