Khan appeal would have been 'one-sided', says Schaefer

Amir Khan’s promoter claims they withdrew their appeal over last month’s controversial defeat by Lamont Peterson because they feared Wednesday’s International Boxing Federation hearing would be “one-sided” and not “fully transparent”.

Khan, along with father Shah and business manager Asif Vali, flew to the United States yesterday ahead of the hearing in New Jersey, only for it to be cancelled at the 11th hour.
