AMIR KHAN won't be rushed into making a decision over when to turn professional, says dad Shah.

Talks are ongoing with pro promoters as well as the English ABA, but Shah said: "We are listening and speaking to everybody.

''It's about what's going to be best for Amir all round. He's only 17 and he's not fully developed yet. So I reckon he needs to do at least a couple of years, mature, and then we'll see what's best for him."
