Beaten just once in 11 fights, 27-year-old Bain will appear outside of Scotland for the first time but is relishing the prospect of boxing in front of a huge crowd in Cardiff.

Khan, 19, knows he can cut no corners in his preparations for this one, and is not taking Bain lightly as he looks to extend his winning record to 8-0.

"I've had a look at Colin's record and the only man he has lost to is Ricky Burns, and he gave a good account of himself when he fought for the European title," said Olympic silver medallist Khan.

"I'm getting to the stage of my career where no fight is going to be easy, and I expect Colin to come and give it a real go in Cardiff.

"I know there is going to be a tremendous buzz around Cardiff in a month's time.

"The reception I got in Belfast recently was absolutely sensational, and I know the Welsh fans will get behind me just as much."
