HAPPY PLACE: Khan is showing no sign of nerves ahead of his make-or-break showdown
ONE of the perks of being young, dumb and unknown is that mistakes don’t travel far and are witnessed by just a few. You screw up in private. You grow up in private.

Khan, a household name since the age of 17, has lived his life in public, beneath the lights of boxing rings, in full view of people who once adored him, then became indifferent to him, and now, one hopes, at the very least respect him. His growing pains were not only felt but seen – by everyone.
