Khan’s Off The Hook…. For Now Anyway
August 21st, 2009
By Tom Stokes: Its seems that Amir Khan (21-1, 15 KO’S) has threaded the eye of the needle, at least for now anyway, Khan who defeated Andriy Kotelnik (31-3, 13 KO’s) on a lopsided unanimous decision in July for the WBA light welterweight championship, was now expected to fight either number 1 ranked mandatory contender Dmitriy Salita (30-0-1, 16 KO’s), or interim champion Marcos Maidana (26-1, 25 KO’s), but its seems now that a both contenders may be fighting each other in November of this year.
Salita khan’s mandatory contender is also a threat to khan, he’s a softer puncher than Maidana but he’s still a slick boxer and would probably show khan a thing or two in the ring. But it seems as though Salita has decided that he’s not getting anywhere chasing khan so he might as well go after the interim title and someone who’s willing to give him a shot.
If the proposed fight does take place then khan can take a breather, but sooner or later he will have to face the winner, or he could vacate his title something I heard he might do if the WBA make him fight Maidana, but whoever khan fights next, I’m sure they will be tailor made for Khan to use his in-out defensive (not so exciting) style against them, and we can thank frank warren as well for providing the cherry picked opponent, but this won’t help him in the long run, khan’s going to have to get in the ring with the big boys soon.

Dmitriy Salita has been the mandatory contender since January. He is in line to fight Amir Khan and the Maidana fight is a rumor as has been mentioned on fightnews. Salita will fight Khan in the end of fall and will be crowned the new WBA champion. Stay tuned for details.
This site ain’t about boxing it’s about whingers and hating
give khan 12 months and he will school maidana easy. maidana is a slugger and would never be able to keep pressure on khan. khan would wear him down over 12 rounds
To K2. Your wrong, the site should be renamed

Tom Stokes is a joke and so are his band of council estate marry men
Tom Stokes – what’s the matter with you? Khan doing your daughter!
Khan fans are dumber than Hatton’s If that’s possible. At least Hatton fought credible opponents.
Vacate a World Title because he will have to fight somebody who is’nt a BUM!!! That’s The Great Amir Khan.
allah means god, allah is not a prophet
Amar 2 jabs was taking the mickey with the pork joke. Which i found hilarious by the way and im not in anyway racist.
salita is too much hype, he needs to fight a real someone. maidana is a good start. somehow, if he beats maidana that will tell us that he’s not an urband legend but a real threat.
well he is stupid=/
i am sure if you look it up on google you will find out he does fast.
my point is he is not going to fight until december because of ramadan and i can guarantee you that. expect his next fight to be named in about 1 month for dec/jan
Khan would beat Sailta! Madiana proberly not as he would be out boxing him but he couldnt keep him off him for 12 rounds and will be stopped eventually
OK Maj, sick to the others. You won’t be missed anyway. Your an idiot!!
and doesn’t know much about boxing Khan would cream Salita, Khan is a much better boxer than him, What has Salita done to deserve a shot at Khan anyway? he has beaten unknowns.
the guy who wrote this is a Khan hater. Get a life dude.
amar!!! what r u on about? i suppose khans not allowed 2 eat pork either
watch khan vacate the title and move down a weight.
Khan vs. Zab because Zab calls Ricky Hatton out and say’s Ricky is a paper Champion and Ricky isn’t a elite fighter like him. Zab vs.Ricky for a shot at Khan for the Title.
Zab wants Khan in fight after A.Diaz bout. Zab said Khan is a real Champion or elite fighter like him. Freddie won’t but his boy against a Warrior like Zab.
why not change this sites name to “wehateamirkhan/jealous of him/talk absolute rubbish.com lol
to think anyone actually takes notice of this site lol with your 3.5 viewers lol
Khans credibilty decreases by the hour. The guy and his team are a laughing stock to real fight fans
