Khan to challenge for world title

Amir Khan will get his first chance at a world title on 27 June when he fights WBA light-welterweight champion Andreas Kotelnik in Britain.

The 22-year-old from Bolton defeated Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera in their lightweight contest in Manchester last month.

But he will move up a division to take on Germany-based Ukrainian Kotelnik at an as-yet undecided venue.

"To fight for the world title in only my 22nd fight is fantastic," said Khan.

"This is the best news that I could have received. Frank (Warren, promoter) has done a great job getting the world title fight for me in Britain and now I have to go out and win it.

"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."

Following his knockout defeat by Breidis Prescott last September, Khan's hopes of a world title fight seemed a distant hope.

However, the performance against Barrera, which saw him win courtesy of a fifth-round technical stoppage, has put him back on track.

Most of his campaigning until now has been in the lightweight division where he won the Commonwealth, WBO and WBA intercontinental titles but he beat Rachid Drilzane for the IBF intercontinental light-welterweight title in December 2006 in London.
I actually expected him to go back after Prescott before a title fight to be honest but hey, gold for Khan is a great prospect.

He should have the beating of Kotelnik, but this guy is still a threat. Despite what a lot of people say bad boxers dont become world champions.

Re: Khan to challenge for world title
Freddie Roach is an excellent coach and as long as Khan follows his gameplan then he should plow through this guy, threat or not.

He has improved a hell of a lot since being under the ring if Roach. I mean if you dont improve after sparring with Manny Pacquaio then there's no hope for you

Re: Khan to challenge for world title
I don't know why he didn't go for Roach straight away instead of that Cuban waste of space that put the blip on his record.

Me neither. Maybe Rubio had a decent rep. Putting Amir against Prescott was an awful decision.

Re: Khan to challenge for world title
Here's an up and coming undefeated fighter with bags of potential, I know let pit him against an unknown Columbian who is also undefeated.

Re: Khan to challenge for world title
The only thing that worries me is that Khan has been knocked out at lightweight and has been put on the canvas a few times more. Now he's stepping up to light-welterweight his chin will be tested even more.

Re: Khan to challenge for world title
He has already won the IBF Intercontinental title at light welterweight, it's not like he hasn't fought there, he's fought there and taken a title while there.

Yeh but if he wins a world title at light-welterweight he will be facing a completely different class of fighters in the future.
