Hungarian hotshot Laszlo Komjathi has branded Amir Khan a kid and says he will take him to school when he fights him in Belfast tomorrow night. Komjathi, 30, has already boxed for the Europan lightweight title, only losing to Steffano Zoff on points. He has also boxed a host of top name Europeans, including classy Italian Guiseppe Lauri, and reckons facing Khan after that roll-call of honour will be like a stroll in the park.
“Amir may have won an Olympic silver medal but as a professional he’s still a baby and has bitten off more than he can chew,” said Komjathi.
“I’ve been in with some really good fighters so I’m not scared of him at all,”
“Until now he hasn’t faced anyone who can punch him back, but as soon as the first bell goes tomorrow night he’ll know he is in a fight,”
“To me, he’s just a kid! who is fighting in a man’s sport – and is about to be found out,”
Khan’s six round international contest against Komjathi takes place at a sell-out Kings Hall, and will be screened live on ITV1.
Also in action are Eamonn Magee, who defends his WBU welterweight title against Takaloo, and Commonwealth heavyweight champion Danny Williams in a non-title affair.
