By MichelleUk: Former IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (28-3, 19 KO’s) will be fighting Luis Collazo (35-5, 18 KO’s) a month from now on May 3rd for vacant WBC Silver Welterweight Strap at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Khan-Collazo fight will be the co-main event on the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Marcos Maodana undercard. Khan is confident that his performance against the 32-year-old Collazo will steal the show from Mayweather and the other fighters on the card.
I think it’s a very good match up and tough fight for the 27-year-old Khan, who hasn’t fought at welterweight at the full weight, and his last performance wasn’t an impressive one against former IBF lightweight champion Julio Diaz last year in April.
