    What an absolute farce. Khan's tweet is inadvertently hilarious too:

    "Delighted to announce i will be fighting @Canelo May 7th Cinco De Mayo, Las Vegas for the 155lbs @WBCBoxing title!"

    WTF is Amir on about? There is no 155b title.

    I didn't see that fight being made. I presume it will be made at a catchweight limit for Canelo's belt. But still not 100% what Amir is talking about.

    It's at 155 for the WBC 'middleweight' title. Golden Boy have already released a promo video.

  5. He's so desperate to avoid Kell he has jumped up a division to hide. Hilarious.

    Aww poor little racists will be crying.

    Wonder what excuse they'll have to bash this fight!

    All credit to Khan

    Fair play to him.

    He believes in himself and wants to fight the best!

    Anyway supporting Khan but I've got Canelo by stoppage within 4 rounds

    After all those Sky Pay per Poo stonkers, this is better than any of the gash seen recently and more excitement with this fight than the Pay per Poo Battle of the Midgets later this month.
     
  8. Why would any socalled racists being crying?

    Those who are not a fan of his will be delighted to finally see him get in the ring with a puncher.

    Khan's fans love playing the victim but I forsee that when khan's career finally comes to a close, these radicals will disapear to.
     
  9. Khan is not interested in being the best, merely whining enough to secure big pay days. He is a typical greedy Muslim.

    This fight is a farce. I cannot wait till he is lying flat on his back and the nation of ****stan weeps for its hero.

    Fair play to Khan but its a disgrace that the WBC have sanctioned this before you take into consideration that its taking place at 155. Bang out of order for those in the 160lb WBC rankings.

    Plus forgetting about Brook, Khan is mandatory for Garcia! That's the duck imo.

    Good on Khan. Yeah I'm a little upset he's not fighting Brook as it would be a massive fight but this is some step up.

    This is absolutely 100% a cash-out by Khan, he has virtually no chance of winning he's never even fought at 154 let alone vs a fighter who comes in on fight nights at 175
