Amir Khan Signs to Golden Boy Promotions

[Ben_Hutch]

WBA light-welterweight champion Amir Khan has announced a deal with United States-based Golden Boy Promotions.

Khan, who has been promoted by Frank Warren since turning professional in 2005, has won 22 of his 23 pro fights and became a world champion last year.
But the Bolton 23-year-old is to link up with Oscar De Hoya's promotional company as he looks to crack America.

"I'm ready to fight anyone, anywhere, anytime and know Golden Boy will help me accomplish these goals," said Khan.

"I am really happy Khan Promotions is partnering with Golden Boy.

"I know that together they will be the right team to help me continue my career as an elite fighter and to expand my fan base to the United States and around the world."

Great news, can't wait to see what Warren has to say in his next blog. You can bet he'll now start calling him over-rated bla bla bla

Hatton vs Khan WILL happen.


Called it first.

^ But I couldn't care less haha. Amir has it all to lose and nothing to gain.

If Amir wins, he beats someone whos had their day and is past his prime, if Hatton wins then Amir's career is over.

Fingers crossed Hatton wins and Amir will be slated by everyone.

He'll achieve shit.

As much as I would hate to see it I think Amir would actually beat Hatton at this stage, starting to think all the wars Ricky has been in are catching up with him. His head first think later style & reflexes could be exposed again by a faster puncher like Khan. A few years ago though I wouldnt give Khan a chance in hell, now its a possibility.. Shame that.
