Amir Khan and his brother, Haroon, fought off an armed gang who tried to carjack his Ranger Rover, according to the Sun.

The former world champion was returning to his car in the early hours of Monday morning after a night in Birmingham when a gang of at least six men set upon the brothers.

The gang used another 4x4 to block in Khan's vehicle but their attack was repelled despite at least one member using wielding cosh.

Amir and Haroon, also a professional boxer and a Commonwealth Games bronze medallist for Pakistan, are reported to have punched several of the assailants before forcing them into a retreat.

Amir suffered a cut lip and the car's rear window was smashed.

Police confirmed they were called out after reports of a fight but no arrests have been made.

Today I learned "cosh" means blackjack, truncheon, blunt metal stick weapon.

A cosh/blackjack generally isn't a blunt metal stick weapon. It's something like this:



Of course, they could just be talking about a metal pipe or something.

I'm certainly glad that the brothers Khan weren't injured. Better yet, they got to inflict a bit of pain on the ass-hats that are too lazy to work for a living.

It can't be true sports based martial arts are worthless on the mean streets especially against multiple opponents with weapons.

Before the car of ex light category champ Amir Khan stopped another one and produced 6 mean looking airheads, who had no clue what's in store for them. One was armed, probably with knife, but the report doesn't tell.
Amir and his brother stepped out to face them. One wanted his carkeys, but he refused and the robber attacked. He got KTFOed and the others rushed to his help. The police found them all red and blue on t3h pavement and the attackers turned victims will probably puke their way through the week. What is interesting is, that raport says nobody was arrested.

My god, getting your ass handed to you by a sex toy would be a horrible thing.
