Former light-welterweight champion and middleweight and welterweight title challenger Amir Khan recently had surgery on his right elbow.

UPDATE: Had my right elbow operation today.
It was giving me pain in my last fight.

Khan challenged WBO Welterweight Champion Terence Crawford last month in the main event of a Top Rank pay-per-view card at New York’s Madison Square Garden. He was stopped in the sixth round while receiving time to recover from a low blow.

Addressing a social media audience, Khan said he experienced pain during the fight but expects to only be out of action for 3-4 weeks.

Khan previously stated he plans a return to the ring in either October or November and feels a showdown with British rival Kell Brook is still possible.
