Haroon Khan, the younger brother of former world champion Amir, has decided to turn professional.
"He's got a lot of talent and I know he can achieve a lot," said Amir.
The 21-year-old Haroon, a bronze medallist at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, has been signed by Amir's new promotions company.
"His amateur record will serve him well and I have no doubts his decision to turn professional will prove to be a very fruitful one," added Amir.
Amir launched his company, Super Fight Promotions, with long-time promoter Dennis Hobson as a partner.
"I've always wanted to turn professional and to do so under Super Fight Promotions was an opportunity that I couldn't turn down," said Haroon.
