The British-Muslim former world boxing champion will travel to Pakistan to help rebuild the Peshawar military school, following the murder of 132 school children.
Amir Khan, 28, will travel to Pakistan between Christmas and New Year's Day to visit extended family and help rebuild the school and country's morale, according to the Daily Mail.
Khan has donated the approximately $50,000 pair of shorts he wore in his Las Vegas victory against Devon Alexander to help rebuild the school.
He wants the Pakistani people to view him as a role model, and wants them to see that he is a good Muslim, a good Pakistani and a good person.
Even though this trip could threaten his life, Khan said he thinks it is important to speak the truth on the matter.
"It's important to go there and send a message that Amir Khan is going to make a difference," Khan said to the Mirror, a British newspaper.
Khan said he has done a lot of charity work in Pakistan in the past. He has helped rebuild schools and hospitals affected by earthquakes.
Khan visited Pakistan in 2005 to hand out food parcels after an earthquake struck Kashmir, according to The Daily Mail. He also donated and helped raise money to rebuild schools and hospitals.
Khan has a 7-month-old daughter who further motivates him to visit Pakistan during these difficult times.
"I have a little girl. Imagine me sending her off to school and then finding out she had been killed," Khan said.
Khan's grandparents immigrated from Rawalpindi, Pakistan to England in 1963.
