The world lightweight title hopeful reached a top speed of 47mph as he went through traffic lights in the wrong lane in Bolton town centre.

Geoffrey Hatton, 55, suffered a broken leg when he was hit by Khan's BMW 6-series convertible on a pelican crossing.

The jury at Bolton Crown Court agreed with Khan's argument that his driving was careless but not dangerous.

Khan was impassive as the jury returned a verdict of not guilty on dangerous driving but guilty of careless driving.

Judge Steven Everitt banned Khan from driving for six months and fined him £1,000.

Sentencing him, Judge Everitt said: "You drove too fast. You put yourself in a position where you could not stop and as a result you went through a red light, and inevitably this collision occurred.

"It may be said Mr Hatton went in front of the car but his injury was of your making.

"The message should go out to you and to other young men and young women: if you drive like this, your licence should be taken from you, albeit for a short period."
