Amir, 30, admits he hates losing and has made a career out out of winning in the ring.

He sees his stint in the jungle as just another fight and the sportsman, who has won 31 out of his 35 boxing bouts, is adamant he will be crowned winner of the show.

Speaking as tonight’s new series kicked off, Amir declared himself the “king”.

He said: “One of the best attributes is my mental strength, I always want to win.

“The Jungle better watch out because there is a new King in town, they don’t call me Amir King Khan for nothing.”

He is facing still competition from the nine other stars who have entered the jungle with him, including reality star Georgia Toffolo.

She revealed she signed up to the show to hit back at critics who think she is “weak” and “over-privileged”.

The Made In Chelsea star insisted she wants to do well to prove them all wrong.
