Arthur lined up for Khan clash


World title hope Alex Arthur is being lined up for a future clash with Amir Khan.

The potential domestic superfight would be part of promoter Frank Warren's plan to pit his stable stars against each other in a series of blockbusting matches.

Warren wants to recreate the glory days when Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Steve Collins and Michael Watson produced huge TV audiences, but this time between featherweight and lightweight.

Next up for Arthur is Georgian Koba Gogoladze for the vacant WBO super-featherweight crown on July 7 in Cardiff.

After that potential opponents include Khan, Kevin Mitchell and Nicky Cook.

Arthur told The Scotsman: "My first priority is to concentrate fully on my forthcoming world title shot against Gogoladze. But I'm aware of Frank Warren's plans for me if I become world champion.

"Quite frankly, fighting Amir Khan, Kevin Mitchell or Nicky Cook wouldn't worry me as I know I can punch harder than any of these guys. Khan has got to defeat Glasgow's Willie Limond for the Commonwealth title on July 14 and that is no means a certainty as I think Willie Limond has the style and skills to beat him.

"Khan will discover, as I did in he ring, that Limond is a quality fighter. But talk of these future fights gives me a bigger incentive now to beat Gogoladze."

Be interesting to see if Arthur gets past Gogaladze first off. He's a decent fighter who handed Carl Johanesson his 1st defeat. I think Arthur has more trouble with Him then Kahn has with Limond. Kahn is too good for any domestic lightweight and that includes John Thaxton.

Cracking matchup but is AAA to heavy handed..?

good question, i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt though. I think this is why Khan has said he can get to Super-Feather, so he can fight Arthur for a world title...shud he win.

Ha yea right doubt this will happen would like to see it but doubt it will happen.

Well nobody is sure only sort of clean punches he took was off that feather fisted frenchman and he decked Khan the jury is still out on Khans chin.

Not a Khan fan really, but I thought he tripped on the ropes rather than being decked.

[HeavyKnockOut911]

that would be huge!

Khan wasn't decked, he got tangled up in the ropes and slipped. It was very clear to see on the replay.

Yes i know but wasn't it counted as knockdown ?? so you have to count it as one he was decked even though technically it wasn't one but what im saying is the only clean punches he has ever took is off the feather fisted French man as i said no one knows how good Khans chin is.

Interesting prospect but this is Frank Warren we're talking about ((reaches for the salt))
