Guys, further to the article, I found another interview with Limond...

Glasgow's Commonwealth lightweight champion Willie Limond insists he has made significant improvements since his only career defeat four years ago and will end Amir Khan's unbeaten record when the pair clash in London on July 14.

Limond's only loss in 29 professional fights came via eighth round stoppage against his fellow Scot and potential future world title challenger Alex Arthur for the British super-featherweight title in his home city in 2003.

But the 28-year-old Limond has since rebounded with 10 straight wins and and believes he has emerged better for the experience and ready to upset the former Olympic silver medallist.

Limond said: "The fight with Arthur was four years ago and it was my first major title fight. The better man won on the night but now I am more mature and I feel stronger, fitter and faster.

"Overall I feel like I am an overall better fighter now than I was back then. I've sparred with Alex many times since then and I know when I am sparring with him that I have improved."

Khan acknowledges he faces the toughest test of his career to date against Limond in a bout which is due to be one of the first events staged at the O2 Arena formerly known as the Millennium Dome.

Khan has enjoyed two swift victories since his gruelling 10-round win over Rachid Drilzane in London last year and is fully prepared for another long haul.

Khan said: "It is a good test for me and it is definitely my hardest fight as a professional. The fact it is for a title as well has given me that extra boost and motivation in training.

"I think Willie Limond is one of the best British fighters at lightweight. No-one can disrespect him because he has only been beaten by Alex Arthur so I know this is going to be a tough fight for me."

This will be a tough test for Khan. I'm starting to hope he gets beat. I really hate Amir's attitude because he thinks he's better than he actually is. He's good...but he has alot to learn to get to world level and I don't think he's weary of this.
