[Title] => ‘Wonder Boy’ eyes gold in Beijing
[Summary] => LONDON — British teenager Amir Khan has been offered a $3.6 Million contract by a syndicate of wealthy boxing aficionados to resist the temptation of turning pro and focus on capturing the Olympic gold medal in Beijing in 2008.
Khan, 17, receives an allowance of $36,000 a year from the British sports ministry as an amateur. If the syndicate known as The Real Fight Club withdraws its offer, Khan is likely to turn pro because there wouldn’t be a more attractive alternative.
