By Jim Dower: WBC super middleweight champion Carl Froch is making a name for himself lately as a part-time boxing analyst. Just this week Froch made the bold prediction that former cruiserweight champion David Haye has a great chance of beating both of the Klitschko brothers. Now, Froch is predicting that lightweight Amir Khan will beat World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Andriy Kotelnik in their July 18th bout at the M.E.N. Arena, in Manchester. “If Khan can keep himself out of harm’s way and display usual work rate, he should nick a points decisions,” Froch said to The Sun.

Khan-Kotelnik: Amir’s Career on the Line
By Scott Gilfoid: After seeing Marco Maidana make quick work of Victor Ortiz last weekend, I now have a bad feeling about Amir Khan’s chances of beating WBA light welterweight champion Andriy Kotelnik in their bout on July 18th at the M.E.N. Arena, in Manchester. Kotelnik, 31, fought Maidana very tough for 12 rounds, taking his best shots and firing back good combinations of his own.
News – Khan Talking Tough About Kotelnik
By William Mackay: Lightweight Amir Khan (20-1, 15 KO’s) is up in arms about the trash talking that World Boxing Association (WBA) light welterweight Andriy Kotelnik has been doing and is upset enough to uncharacteristically fire back at Kotelnik, promising him to give him a “boxing lesson” in the ring come July 18th in their bout at the M.E.N. Arena, in Manchester, England.
Will Amir Khan ever Be able to Prove the Doubters Wrong?
By David Mackie: Amir Khan next faces WBA light-welterweight champion Andreas Kotelnik on July 18th at the MEN Arena in Manchester, England. Khan last fought in March where he beat Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera on a controversial fifth round stoppage after a cut opened above Barrera’s eye in the first round.
Boxing News – Cotto-Pacquiao Bout Looking Good; Roach Upset With Kotelnik
By Jim Dower: The perspective bout between WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto and Filipino star Manny Pacquiao is looking more and more like a reality as Manny’s promoter Bob Arum informed the media on Wednesday that he had a good meeting with Cotto’s management representatives recently, and will be looking to get things ironed out to make an announcement soon.
Is Khan Ready For Kotelnik Bout?
By William Mackay: Next month barring any kind of injury or problems with Andriy Kotelnik (31-2-1, 13 KOs) or Amir Khan’s (20-1, 15 KOs) teeth, we should be seeing what could end up being a very competitive fight. Khan, 22, is the favorite in this fight because of his better offensive skills but you never know what could happen in a fight like this because Khan has so little experience against top notch opposition other than Breidis Prescott and Marco Antonio Barrera.
Boxing News – Khan vs. Kotelnik Postponed Until July 18th; Bradley vs. Campbell on August 1st
By Chris Williams: Lightweight Amir Khan (20-1, 15 KOs) will have to wait an additional three weeks to get a shot at World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Andreas Kotelnik (31-2-1, 13 KOs) who because of a nasty infection of one of his teeth can’t fight until July 18th. The delay will make it necessary for the fight to be held at the MEN Arena instead of the O2 Arena because singer Michael Jackson has a scheduled date to sing on June 27th.
Khan vs. Kotelnik Likely to Be Postponed – Boxing News
By Chris Williams: Lightweight Amir Khan (20-1, 15 KOs) may have just got a big break with the news that World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Andriy Kotelnik (31-2-1, 13 KOs) has an infected tooth and will possibly be calling off their June 27th bout at the O2 Arena, in London.
Khan vs. Kotelnik – What Will Amir Do If He Loses
By Dave Lahr: Whether Amir Khan (20-1, 15 KOs) deserves it or not, he’ll be getting a shot at World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Andriy Kotelnik (31-2-1, 13 KOs) on June 27th at the O2 Arena, in Greenwich, London.
Does Khan Lack the Toughness to Beat Kotelnik?
By Matt Stein: Amir Khan (20-1, 15 KO’s) has all these grand plans about wanting to fight Ricky Hatton or one of the other big named in boxing, but I’m really wondering whether Khan will be able to get by WBA light welterweight champion Andriy Kotelnik (31-2-1, 13 KO’s) later on this month on June 27th at the O2 Arena in London.
