KHAN GETS WORLD TITLE FIGHT! « Frank Warren TV News

Didn't see that one coming.

Khan called him the worst world champ in boxing the other week. What a fucking dummy

[Mark TKO]

looks a bit feather fisted - perfect opponent

[Gandalf]

Kotelnik is fighting Ortiz in June according to boxing rec. And if the fight is to take place that would mean Khan is going up to 140?

[Fenster]

Hatton-Khan will be massive next year.

[smashup]

Is def at 140!

I would have thought he would have stuck around at 135 until a shot at a belt. Kotelnik seems like a very solid opponent, if the fight comes off it will be a decent test for Khan. A very decent matchup, I'm surprised he's going up to JWW though.

I thought this fight was going to happen as soon as he made that comment.

For the record I think Khan wins this easily.

By the way did you notice he is now saying this about Kotelnick

I've seen Kotelnik a few times and I've always been impressed by him but once my trainer Freddie Roach works out the game plan to beat him it's my job to execute it on the night as I did effectively against Barrera."

A couple weeks ago he called the worst ever world champ, now he's impressive. Haha

[Fenster]

He's targeted the worst champ in all of boxing to win a title.

Wally.

Kotelnik isn't that bad. Better than Gavin Rees anyway.

Thats what i was thinking. They'd fill Wembley no problem.

[JazMerkin]

I'm surprised that they've gone straight for it, but I doubt they would have done it without Roach's input. They've probably worked out its an easier field at 140, and that there was no guarantee that JMM would vacate in time.

BBC SPORT | Boxing | Khan to challenge for world title

should be a good test for kahn, if he wins convincinly then i have to say ill be impressed. saying that id say its probably a 55-45 fight in kahns favour

edit: sorry didnt see had already been posted

[DatsiK]

I think Khan moving up to 140 is a good decision, he's always been a welterweight draining himself down to lightweight in my eyes. is kinda typical for Khan though to fight the man he called the worst champio ever Will be a good fight but Khan will win by TKO.

That would be a shorts night work. Hatton catches up with Khan quickly and out go the lights. I hope the fight never happens TBH. I don't want to see Khan near a name like Hatton until he's earned it. He hasn't done that by a long shot. This fight will be a step forward though, and if he wins it I will give him credit.

But I still thought Kotelnik was fighting Ortiz?
