British boxer Amir Khan's special edition Range Rover was in full view last week as the former WBA and IBF light welterweight champion visited a spa in Manchester.

The Bolton-born fighter, who purchased the 'King Khan' edition of the 4x4 earlier this year, has a personalised licence plate made to look like 'boxing'.

Khan was snapped leaving Skin Health Spa last Wednesday and was even seen posing with a traffic warden outside the premises on St James's Square.

Meanwhile, last Friday Khan confirmed that he would be leading a convoy of aid that will be delivered to Syrian refugees on the Greek island of Lesbos.

In a video uploaded to his official Instagram page Khan said: 'Syrian people are going through a lot of pain and they need out help. Every little bit is going to make a massive difference to these people who need out support.'

The convoy is a joint venture between the Amir Khan Foundation and charity PennyAppeal and will set off from Bolton on Tuesday. 

'It's heartbreaking to see images of children losing their lives as their families flee from devastating conflict,' Khan is quoted as saying in the Mirror.

'What's even more disturbing is knowing that many more lives will be lost unless we provide urgent aid.

'We're seeing stories of people in countries like Germany doing so much for refugees and I know people in the UK are just as generous and thoughtful.

'This convoy is a great way for everyone to do something to help.'

Khan has urged people to drop off any unwanted clothes, tinned food, basic medical supplies, baby milk and nappies to @polishandglow in Manchester and will personally hand out aid to refugees.

PennyAppeal's Adeem Younis added: 'Every day refugees arrive on the shores of Europe after surviving a horrendous journey with nothing more than the clothes they are wearing.

'The items we can provide will make a real difference, giving people hope. We’re delighted to be working with Amir.'

The 28-year-old, who has won his last five fights after back-toback losses to Lamont Perterson and Danny Garcia, has not stepped into the ring since defeating Chris Algieri in May.

Khan has long been after a fight with Floyd Mayweather, who confirmed his decision to retire after his points victory against Andre Berto on Saturday night, while Manny Pacquiao has also been sounded out.

The Filipino's promoter Bob Arum has insisted the fight can happen.

'This kid Amir Khan keeps shooting his mouth off about Manny Pacquiao. I can arrange for Khan to fight Pacquiao. Amir Khan has been begging Mayweather for a fight and now he can get a major fight,' Arum is quoted as saying in the Latin Post last week. 

'I'm not a hard guy to deal with. I'm not going to mess them around. One thing's for sure, Pacquiao is not ducking Khan. Pacquiao will fight him. I don't know if Khan will fight Pacquiao, but it's available.'
