Cultural influence
Having knocked out his opponent, Khan dedicated his victory to the victims of the London attack. He is the anti-thesis of the four suicide bombers, a role model for the Muslim (and non-Muslim) youth, showing them the right alternative to the cult of death.
That's part of the solution: prominent role models who make young Muslims feel proud to be who they are instead of feeling like a disaffected minority with no recourse but to give their life in the fight against the evil American "empire".
Note: not to be confused with this Khan.
