Mashallah thanks for the response, how would one deter the youth to stay away from glorifying boxers like Amir Khan ?
on a side note, ithink i speal for myself, but i sense there is some unhealthiness within the ummah, certainly in our community. However its slowlychaning as people are playing football more....

p.s formerly a yellow belt of the Shukokai karate style

Officially blue belt in Jui-jitsu, unofficially purple, at a push brown haha. I stopped a few years ago though unfortunately. When I finish uni inshaa Allah I will get back into it.

As to your question it's a difficult one, because I know how difficult it is to not watch boxing or MMA (used to be a heavy fan of this). Even now I feel the pull to tune in and watch the fights. It's less to do with glorifying the desi boxer and more to do with watching the technique and appreciating and understanding what's going on, but that doesn't make it halaal.

Best thing is to tell the youth that this is essentially something that is haraam and they are glorifying someone for committing this sin and also watching this sin.

May Allah grant me and everyone else the strength to stay away and remain away from watching/participating in these. Ameen
