"It was priceless," he said.

Khan hopes boxing receives more investment in Pakistan, similar to cricket's infrastructure.

"There's a lot of talent out there, they should invest a bit more into boxing like they have done with cricket," he said.

He believes a professional bout in a Pakistani cricket stadium would sell out multiple times over.

"If I fought in a cricket stadium in Pakistan? It would sell out 10 times over," he said.

The undercard broadcast begins at 18:30 BST, with the main card at 20:30 BST. Live text commentary is available on the BBC Sport website and app.

Khan concluded by hoping his journey inspires young people from non-traditional backgrounds.

"I want all kids - not just South Asians - who have come from broken families to look at someone like me, knowing that you can have a goal, stick at it and you will get the fruits of your labour," he said.
