British two-time world champion boxer Amir Khan would reportedly wear the most expensive shorts worth 30,000 pounds in sporting history for his big fight against American Devon Alexander in Las Vegas on Saturday.

The former world champion would don the 24-carat gold pants worth 30,000 pounds when he faces his American challenger. The gold is woven through a waistband on his white leather trunks, but the welterweight has insisted that he is not a big spender, The Daily Star reported.
