What role does AEW President Tony Khan have at Premier League side Fulham?

Tony Khan, a prominent figure in the wrestling industry, assumed the role of vice-chairman and director of football operations for Fulham back in February 2017. In this capacity, he played a crucial role in player signings, evaluation, and recruitment for Fulham.

Recently, Tony, also the president of All Elite Wrestling (AEW), attended a non-AEW event – Fulham FC’s Premier League match against Aston Villa on Saturday, February 17th, where he was joined by Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy.

What does Tony Khan do at Fulham?

Tony Khan serves as the vice-chairman of Fulham Football Club, an English football club based in London, typically competing in the Premier League. Since 2017, Tony has been primarily responsible for overseeing talent identification, general maintenance, and the acquisition of new talents for Fulham.

Holding authoritative positions in both Fulham and the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, both owned by his father, billionaire businessman Shahid Khan, Tony plays a key role in their operations. In a recent match against Aston Villa, the football club, led by the 41-year-old president, experienced a (1-2) loss.

Tony Khan was seen with Darby Allin and Orange Cassidy, who were seen seated behind the AEW CEO as both athletes are currently signed with Khan’s company. The Jacksonville-based promotion is not the only thing that Tony manages. Although the football club is not getting the recognition it deserves, soon it will make a name for itself just like the wrestling promotion.

Tony Khan gets trolled by Aston Villa

Aston Villa Football Club recently secured a 2-1 victory over Fulham, prompting the official Aston Villa Twitter account to send a humorous video to Tony Khan. This exchange occurred following an online argument between Tony Khan and Jinder Mahal, with WrestleTalk reporting that AEW’s Tony Khan was amusingly mocked by Aston Villa Football Club after their triumph over Khan’s Fulham side today.

The clip showed All Elite Wrestling’s Prince Nana dancing while walking the ramp as the crowd was seen cheering and below was the scoreboard of Aston Villa Football Club and Fulham Football Club’s 2-1 score.

Although Tony Khan’s team lost the match, there is still a chance to reverse the situation. Khan’s genius knows no bounds as even Kevin Von Erich praised Tony Khan’s All Elite Wrestling on the Under The Ring podcast.

Kevin said, “I’ve always loved AEW… That’s a great company, I really liked it… Tony Khan’s a genius, he really is. He’s somebody that loves what he does and you can’t help but admire that. I met him, my sons met him, he’s a first-class guy.”
