By Liam Santiago: Top boxing promoter Frank Warren has said he is very disappointed with Amir Khan, who recently walked away from Warren’s stable to join Golden Boy Promotions. Although Warren stood by Khan after his loss to Breidis Prescott and produced some of the best match making in history to boost Khan’s name, Khan still decided to turn his back on the London based promoter.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Warren said, ”I can’t say I was surprised with what happened, but I was very disappointed. I like Amir, I’ve got a lot of time for him, I really have, and I wish him well for the future. At the moment I would like to keep my thoughts to myself but in the next couple of days I’ll make my decision on what to say about it. Of course he’s made the wrong decision, whenever any fighter leaves of course I’ll say it’s a wrong decision. I’m good at what I do but that’s my view. If they’re quality fighters they do fairly well with me and time will tell whether it is the right move.”

Warren went on to talk about the comeback of Ricky Hatton. Warren said, “He was badly knocked out against Pacquiao, he’s the size of a house and he doesn’t look good. He’s at least 13-and-a-half to 14 stone and if he’s going to fight at 10 stone that’s a stone a month, now that for any person, is a difficult thing to do. For an athlete, you don’t know what that’s going to do to your body. He should retire in a heartbeat, and anyone around him who has encouraged him to fight should be ashamed of themselves”.
