· Thaxton vs. Khan for the prestigious British Title
· Purse bids to be held Wednesday 9th January 2008 at Midday at the British Boxing Board of Control.
· “5 Days to go and I’m counting”
“After shooting your mouth off about me you’ve gone very quiet all of a sudden.”
“I believe you have never been in the ring with a puncher even close to my caliber, is this a coincidence? I don’t think so.”
“We will have a date for this fight in five days time at the official purse bid. I’m asking you to be a man and make sure you’re represented there. I’m either going to hand over a purse bid or four feathers, what’s it going to be Amir you decide ?”
