Britain's Amir Khan will face Frenchman Rachid Drilzane at London's ExCel Arena on 9 December.
Khan, who turns 20 the day before the fight, said: "I have had a good look at Drilzane. He is not a bad fighter but I won't let him ruin my birthday.

"This year has been pretty special, and it would be great to finish the way I started - with a first-round knockout."

Are they being extra cautious with Khan or do they KNOW he can't take a punch?

Rachid Drilzane W 10 (0 ko's)

Y'know, given his age and the frequency in which he fights, I'm actually not bothered.

i think they know he cant take a punch

not really supprise ive said it ever since he got rocked they seem to be carfully matching him with none punchers.... watch this space as the Khan fans are in for a big shock when they stick him in with a guy with a decent chin and half decent KO power and i'm only talking domestic level

but cant see them doing that for a few years yet

I find the difference between Hattons opponents and Khans at the same junction of their careers startling at the same age. But you knew Hatton was for real

Yeah, thats actually starting to make me angry. I read his opponents record on BoxRec and said out loud "F*CKING HELL THE F*CKING F*CKS" which makes no sense but I just lost it for a split second.
