Boxing has never been about race, its social class and poverty, pure and simple. People who have nowhere to go outside boxing, men with nothing to lose.

Watch the British boxing scene over the next 10 years and see how many good asian boxers come through. 10 years after that it will be the Polish fighters etc..
We've already had a few asian boxers coming through the ranks, and I can't see that tide slowing, Khan's current success can only boost the numbers of asian families willing to let their kids start boxing, but at the moment, the polish boxers who are around the british scene tend to be those that have moved over here for work, and are continuing an interest/minor career in boxing.
