Ok so it's my second installment of the 60 second interview taken from Boxing News magazine...

This week it's Bolton's 21 year old lightweight commonweatlh champion, Amir Kahn 15-0 (12)


Age started boxing: 8

First boxing memory: Walking into the gym, smelling the sweat and seeing the bags being punched

Inspiration: Ali, He inspired me. I always looked up to him and i think the young guys, fighters like Floyd Mayweather alos, because you want to do what they do.

Motivation: All the criticism. You go in the gym and train twice as hard. I also want to be multi-world champion, so i think about that before training everyday.

Favourite all time fighter: Ali

Best fight: SRL - Hearns

Pre fight meal: Steak and some carbs

What do you do to relax: Put my ipod on, chill out with my friends and play playstation 3 with them.

What training do you do in between fights: I do a bit of strength work, a bit of jogging and sit ups and press ups

Typical breakfast: Some kind of meat. Fish, lamb or chicken with vegetables or rice. I change it around. It's important to help your immune system in the morning with meat.

Toughest part of being a boxer: The dedication. When your friends are having crisps, chocolate and fizzy drinks, you have to say no.

Last book you read: Soul of a butterfly about Muhammad Ali

Favourite Film; Scarface

What car do you drive: I had a BMW 6 series and a range rover

Where do you train: Oliver's gym in Salford and at my gym in Bolton

Training routine: In the morning i warm up, skip, shadow box and have a really good stretch. Then in my main session, i do pad work, bag work and finish off with stretching. It sometimes varies with sparring depending on when i've got a fight coming up

Toughest man faced: Mario Kindelan. Technically he was very good and physically very strong

What supplements do you take: Loads, i have a nutritionalist, Phil Richards

What would you be if you weren't a boxer: I'd love to be a footballer but i can't kick a ball straight

Last place you went on holiday: Dubai

Best Boxer in the sport today: Floyd Mayweather
