IF THERE actually turns out to be something in this reincarnation malarkey, Amir Khan is surely destined to come back as high-stakes gambler, plying his trade in the casinos of Vegas and Monte Carlo.

And when he does, he’ll be that rare sort whose roulette table is packed with spectators, tantalised at his reckless disregard for the consequences of losing, up to and including a willingness to bet everything, including the house, on that one last turn of the wheel.

Tonight, Khan will attempt the boxing equivalent of betting everything on one more turn of the roulette wheel when he steps into the ring to challenge WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford at Madison Square Garden in New York.
