The 19 year-old, brother of world champion Amir Khan, wearing the vest of Pakistan, squeezed past Welshman Andrew Selby on countback after a tight 3-3 draw, then said he felt vindicated after alleging he had been frozen out of the Great Britain squad.
Khan said: “This is what I wanted to do – get a medal and beat a lad from the Great Britain podium squad. I’ve done that and proved them wrong. It [beating a Briton] is more important than the medal.”
