Lightweight contender Amir Khan (15-0, 12 KOs) says nothing has been heard from British lightweight champion Jon Thaxton since December 8 when he stopped former Lonsdale belt holder Graham Earl in just 72 seconds at the Bolton Arena. "In the past Jon has always been saying that he'll be the first to beat me, but I've heard nothing since I destroyed Earl, who's a much better fighter than Thaxton," said Khan. "Before the fight I said I'd retire Earl, and I'll do the same to Thaxton. Jon's a good fighter but he's not in my league. I'll be too quick and too strong for him, and I can't see the fight going the distance.....sadly I think there's more chance of Thaxton turning up on the side of a pint of milk than getting in the ring with me." Khan, 21, is due to box again on February 2 at the ExCel Arena, London.
