Thread: Khan handed WBO eliminator

Amir Khan is just one step away from a world title fight after Martin Kristjansen was named as his next opponent in what will be a WBO eliminator.Full article at Sky Sports | Boxing | News | Kristjansen next for Khan


Is khan gonna get expossed now he is in with a decent fighter or is he as good as he says he is?

So its not romanov or Thaxton, shame. I think he wins this but will find it hard against Katsidis at this time. I think he should move up a weight class and challenge Rees. He will find lightweight too hard IMO at this stage of his career.

Rees has said he would welcome the chance to shut Khan up so that fight could be made easy.Plus it would be a easyer fight for Khan to win.

Shock horror who would have thought a Warren fighter getting an eliminator for the WBO JOKE TITLE.

Kahn V Juan Diaz that would be an interesting fight, both guys throw a lot of punches could provide some fireworks if Frank Warren is brave enough to stick Kahn in there with him doubt it tho

How many fights does Khan have now? like 12 or so?

You're kidding, right? Juan 'Porkie Pie' Diaz, undoubtedly the best and most dominant lightweight in the world today? And by some distance. The only interest would lie in how many rounds Khan would survive. Now David Diaz might be a different matter. But even there, not yet.

At least this Danish guy is a genuine lightweight. For that reason alone, it presents Khan with a new challenge.
