Boxer Amir Khan Offers 4-Storey Building To Help UK Fight Coronavirus

Amir Khan, the British professional boxer, has stepped forward to help citizens of the United Kingdom in the fight against coronavirus pandemic. The boxer said in a tweet, "I am aware of how difficult it is to get a hospital bed at this tragic time. I am prepared to give my 60,000 square 4 story building which is due to be a wedding hall and retail outlet to the @NHSuk to help people affected by the coronavirus. Pls keep safe". Amir Khan is a former light-welterweight world champion and was the World Boxing Association Champion from 2009 till 2012. With the growing cases of coronavirus in the UK, there are concerns that it can cause a shortage of hospital beds if the virus is not contained.

I am aware of how difficult it is for the public to get a hospital bed in this tragic time. I am prepared to give my 60,000 square foot 4 story building which is due to be a wedding hall and retail outlet to the @NHSuk to help people affected by the coronavirus. Pls keep safe. pic.twitter.com/MSpaEwPFuw

Earlier, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson asked his citizens to stay indoors for the next three weeks as the country grapples against the coronavirus pandemic.

On Wednesday, Swiss Tennis star Roger Federer announced that he and his wife Mirka have donated one million Swiss Francs to the families fighting against coronavirus in Switzerland.
