Khans opponent confirmed!

[Markusdarkus]

Amir Khan will face unbeaten Colombian Breidis Prescott at Manchester's MEN Arena on Saturday 6 September.
Khan, who stopped Michael Gomez in June, will look to extend his unbeaten run to 19 fights since turning pro.
The 21-year-old Bolton boxer will be defending his fringe intercontinental lightweight crown against an opponent who boasts 17 knockouts from 19 fights.
Khan will fight on the same bill as Alex Arthur's WBO super-featherweight defence against Dagenham's Nicky Cook.
Prescott's record reads well at first glance, with 14 of his fights ending inside three rounds, though his opponents have been of questionable quality and he is not ranked in the top 10 by any of the four major organisations.
However Khan, ranked number two with the WBO and five by the WBC, said the 25-year-old would provide a real test.
606: DEBATE

Even though the record might look impressive, he has been beating nobodies

"Prescott looks dangerous but he's just the kind of opponent I need at this stage of my career," he said.
"He may have been knocking them out left right and centre, but I'm going to make him wake up and smell the coffee.
"I've been working on my defensive skills with new coach Jorge Rubio, and it looks like Prescott will be testing out what I've been learning in the gym.
"Along with my strength and conditioning coach, I'm also punching harder than ever before, and I think my offensive skills are going to win me this fight."
Prescott, who has a height and reach advantage and has fought at light-welterweight before, predicts he can add another quick win to his record.
"Khan is just a boy. I will knock him out," he said. Khan has also announced a 20-fight deal with Sky Box Office having ended his association with ITV.

Nice to see Khan really stepping it up

the guy has 3wks to get ready

And Khan is topping a PPV bill here in the UK

O dear.

[ono]

Unknown Columbian bangers are dangerous

Ask Miguel Cotto

20 fight deal? Shit he's nowhere near a title fight!

[rjj tszyu]

I hope Khan gets KO'd off this nobody and fucks sky right up. They used to be quite good for boxing but they've let the amateurish Setanta take over and now they are putting Khan on PPV. What a joke!!!!

This will be very interesting, although he has fought low level comp and has only 3 weeks, he is bigger than anyone Kahn has faced and has been active.

He is 6 foot and is naturally big, he has fought in the weight above and even though the opposition wasnt great, he has been doing the business on em so has decent power, he has fought twice this year the last being June so should be sharp and fit, 3 weeks aint the worst.

He is an unknown quantity and could turn out to make Kahn look a fool.

Hopefully he is the typical wild Columbian, if he stands back and lets Kahn settle he will get out boxed or at least outscored

Hopefully he comes roaring out with lots of punches and just walks right through Kahn, this could be the next coming of Duran, didnt Mayorga come out of nowhere and just batter Andrew Lewis?

Warren thinks he is doing Kahn a favour but the lack of resistance from his opponents is gonna hurt him here, look what Gomez did to him and we all know that was a shell of Gomez.

Warren is doing Khan no favors with his match making in Khans last few fights.

LOL, I know you haven't seen him so you don't know but trust me, no. He's not even the next Mayorga.

He was on Friday Night Fights against that Abril guy. Abril moved and jabbed a lot (not so much jabbed a lot but moved a lot) so he probably wasn't the easiest guy to look good against but Prescott's slow, sloppy, etc. Hard to tell his power because he didn't land much clean. If Abril had just manned up and worked just a little bit more he would have won.
