Britain’s Amir Khan, 19-1 (15), takes on Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera in a clash for the WBO lightweight eliminator this Saturday night at the MEN Arena in Manchester, England.

The bout is the main event of a stacked card by Frank Warren’s Sports Network, which also features Enzo Maccarinelli and Nicky Cook in WBO world championship bouts.

This is undoubtedly Khan’s biggest test thus far in his short career, while for Barrera, whose record consists of superstars and future hall of famers, it’s just a routine opponent, however by no means is he taking this test lightly. More...

Yesterday, at the Triangle Shopping Centre in Manchester, England, Frank Warren and Sports Network hosted the official weigh-in ahead of tonight's much anticipated clash between Amir Khan of Bolton, England, and Marco Antonio Barrera of Mexico as they fight for the vacant WBO Intercontinental and WBA International lightweight titles.

Well-known Promoter Don King, supplied the entertainment as he laughed and waved flags for the duration. 'Donning' a denim jacket embellished with his portrait and his slogan, 'Only In America - The Greatest Nation in the World', the fuzzy haired promoter looked to be enjoying the occasion as he stood on the podium awaiting the boxers and occasionally calling out 'Long Live Mexico'.

Looking to be a real 'people-man', King took time to speak to - and take photographs with - many of the general public waiting around the weigh-in area. More...

Last night at BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, FL, lightweight Nate Campbell held off a good challenge by South Africa's Ali Funeka to win a majority decision over twelve rounds to lead the way on a massive Don King promoted fight card.

Campbell's IBF, WBA and WBO titles were not on the line as he had been stripped of the belts the day before when he could not make the lightweight limit of 135 pounds.

Still showing surprising stamina at 36 years of age, Campbell put on a good effort but it was the knockdowns of Funeka in the second and eleventh rounds that would win him the contest after 12 competitive rounds.

The native Floridian won two of the cards by scores of 115-111 and 114-112 while Funeka managed to pull even on the third at 113-113.

Campbell moves to 33-5-1 (25) in his final bout at lightweight as he will now campaign at 140 pounds while Funeka sees a 16 bout win streak snapped and falls to 30-2-2 (25). More...
