OLYMPIC boxer Amir Khan has hit out at racist thugs who draped themselves in the Union flag, blasting: "That flag is for heroes, not these morons."
The 2004 silver-medallist, 37, spoke out as police forces geared up for a fresh wave of violence across tinder box Britain.
Amir said he had watched as thugs ran amok, using the Southport attacks to try to legitimise widespread disorder. And the devout Muslim said seeing the hate mob wearing the Union flag is an insult to the Team GB heroes who are bringing pride to their country in Paris.
In an exclusive interview, Amir, who won silver at the Athens Olympics when he was aged 17, told the Mirror: "It's an insult. These Olympians are bringing honour to our country, that flag is for heroes, not these morons.
"We fly that flag high. It's sad that there are these morons who are discrediting it. There's still division.
"Despite what we do for Great Britain, people don't see Asians as being British. That's why we have all these fights and problems, we're divided.
"I've lived in Britain my whole life and I love it to bits.
