Khan - I'm with the greats now

[sonny78]

British boxing sensation Amir Khan has spoken of his delight at joining the legends of the fight game on Sky Box Office.

The 21-year-old Commonwealth lightweight champion will make his Box Office debut on September 6 against unbeaten lightweight Breidis Prescott at the MEN Arena in Manchester, the first event in a multi-fight deal that is expected to take the Olympic silver medalist to a world title.

The Bolton star is relishing the prospect, telling Sky Sports News: "To be up with Naz, Chris Eubank, Frank Bruno, Mike Tyson - they are living legends. To be alongside them on Sky Box Office, it means a lot to me and my family. When I took up boxing at the age of eight, this was my dream."

As for his Colombian opponent, Khan added: "He is a well-known name in the USA, he has had 19 fights, won 19 with 17 KOs, so he brings an undefeated record, as do I. It's going to be a tough fight but I have been training hard for this fight. I am going to go in there with one thought in my head which is to go in there and win."









This lad has a head full of magic!!!, if he thinks appearing on PPV makes him a legend he is in for a shock when he gets in with someone who can bang I will not be watching this joke of a PPV fight!!

"Head full of magic" Too right!

It makes me cringe when he comes out with shat like this. I'm really looking forward to seeing just how many PPV sales there will be.

So is this guy a big name over in the states then. I don't think so. He's only ever fought bums. He has fought 19 opponents that combined only had 85 wins. Thats an average of 4.47 wins per opponent. Nice matchmaking again by Warren. Definitley worth putting on PPV. What a f...ing joke.

I said in another post but why is he fighting a guy that is based 4,000 miles away that has 3wks to get ready and travel half way accross the world when the uk has a wealth of talent at 135lbs?

If Khan thinks he is that good he would tell Warren to match-make him better. I`ll never be buying that joke ppv.
