Khan Wants Kindelan to Train him.

British lightweight sensation and Olympic silver medallist Amir Khan is set to make his professional boxing debut next month. July 16 is the day that Khan will set foot in a professional prize ring for the first time, and he wants his former amateur rival Mario Kindelan to join his camp as a trainer. Khan is full of respect for the man that beat him en route to an Olympic gold medal in last year’s games and sees no greater individual that could help him achieve greatness in the professional game. Kindelan traveled to England to fight Khan earlier this year and it was clear that Khan had studied Kindelan and took a hard-fought decision from the talented Cuban. Khan recently visited Kindelan’s Cuba and may request formally that the amateur legend be allowed to coach him throughout his professional career.
