Amir Khan took a low blow from American WBO world welterweight champion Terence Crawford in the sixth round at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Khan was knocked down in the first round by Crawford and was behind on all three judges' scorecards when the fight ended.
Crawford - who has held world titles in three weight divisions - drove a left hook into Khan's groin 47 seconds into the sixth, leaving him in "too much" pain to continue.
However, Khan insists that isn’t the end.
"
I don't want to end my career like that,” he told The Independent
. “I definitely don't. I'm one of those fighters, I'd rather get knocked out. I couldn't think straight when I was hit with a shot like that. I just have to sit back, watch the video and think about what I'm going to do. I still have a love for the sport. I was up against one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world. I want to come home and then decide what I do next. But definitely, man, you'll definitely see me again.”
