By Matty Buckland: What next for Amir Khan (27-3, 19 KO’s) if he fails to deliver this upcoming Saturday night against Julio Diaz (40-7-1, 29 KO’s) in Sheffield, UK? Khan has had a career full of highs and lows and, at the young age of 26, Khan is already trying to rebuild his career after the devastating knockout defeat to Danny Garcia and his point’s loss to Lamont Peterson.
Khans’ career started with a stellar amateur background culminating in an Olympic silver medal. His professional career started off very well before a shock defeat to the relatively unknown Breidis Prescott put a few doubts in a lot of people’s minds.
By Matty Buckland: Recently we have seen a couple of the top young heavyweight contenders to the Klitschko brothers crowns fight and we have seen David Price found wanting in his bout against Tony Thompson. The other 2 young prospects, Deontay Wilder who will be taking on Audley Harrison soon and Tyson Fury who has just had a TKO victory over Steve Cunningham.
By Matty Buckland: Carl Froch v Mikkel Kessler on May 25th has got to be the most anticipated fight in this years boxing calendar. Both fighters are hugely respected around the boxing world and are equally as entertaining to watch. Froch and Kessler both bring something exciting to the ring, whether it is Froch’s heart and desire to succeed no matter what the cost or Kessler’s great skill and experience.
