British Boxer Amir Khan appears in court on dangerous driving charge

British boxer Amir Khan appeared in court Thursday on charges of dangerous driving.

The 19-year-old Khan, who turned pro after winning a silver medal in the lightweight division at the 2004 Athens Olympics, is accused of hitting a pedestrian with his car in Bolton on March 2, breaking the man's leg.

Khan spoke only to confirm his name and address in the brief appearance at Bolton Magistrates' Court. His case was set for trial in Bolton Crown Court starting Nov. 3.

Khan has won all nine of his pro fights and is considered a potential world championship contender.
