Amir-Craig this is your last chance

[emma]

CRAIG Watson has "gone missing" after Amir Khan said he wanted to fight the only boxer to have put him on the floor.

Khan's next fight is at Bolton Arena on September 2 and Watson has been given the chance to prove himself again.

The Mancunian is the only boxer to have floored Khan when he stunned the Olympic silver medallist at the ABAs in Preston shortly before Khan turned professional.

But attempts to contact Watson to arrange a rematch have failed and Khan has warned the 23-year-old this is the last chance he will get.

Watson's manager, Frank Maloney, said this week the date would be too soon for his fighter, who has been out of the gym due to personal reasons.

However, Khan has warned him it is "now or never" if they are to go toe-to-toe a second time.

Khan said: "If they can get that fight, what a fight it will be in Bolton. The crowd want to see it and I want it, it would be good.

"In a way I'm giving him a chance to fight me. There are so many people out there who want to, but I'm giving Craig Watson a chance to fight me.

"These chances won't come again because, if I go on, I don't think he'll get a chance to fight me again. Hopefully he'll take it.

Khan dismissed the knockdown in their first fight last year as "a stupid shot" and has no qualms about meeting Watson again.

"He caught me with a good shot, it was a silly shot to get caught with. But I got up and pressured him back, he should have been on top of me straightaway after he put me down but it was the opposite.

"It shows me I can take a shot and come back from a good shot. It didn't dishearten me, it didn't break me down. I came back and won the fight easily. I beat him. A lot of people in my position wouldn't even give him a chance to fight me.

"I know I won't make that mistake again and I know he won't catch me again with a stupid shot because I won't let him.

"There is unfinished business and I can put things straight by fighting him.

"I can show people that in the first fight it was just a mistake, and prove it in the second fight."

Khan really is too big for his britches, giving ultimatums like now or never. Too ugly to be giving ultimatums as well :P - sorry emma you know it's true, he's got that same trollish look to him as Nas

Khan has a lot to prove before giving out ultimatums at a pro level.....he should keep it zipped and just build up to 8 rounders.....the young tit!!!

Sorry enlighten me again as to all the other British Asian superstar boxers out there?

Naseem perhaps? Oh no I forgot he's in prison for crashing his car into some poor innocent man whilst high on a cocktail of drugs and alcohol, before doing a runner and leaving the man for dead trapped in his car,

I hope that is nothing to do with it. Like any much-hyped prospect, there are going to be boxing purists who resent sharing him with the unwashed general public. Brits also love to bash a winner and support a loser!!

Please also don't make the mistake if banding all non-white people together (when you say black/asian) as those races have as little in common as white.asian, white/black etc.

Takaloo is from Iran , I think, and has een around for ages. He's got a lot of support in the UK. Eubank, Benn, Bruno, Watson etc were not exactly unsupported !!!
