Khan dumps Harrison

The Sun

 

Khan and his people could validate the truth.

They must read the headlines suggesting Khans split with Harrison was broken to him by way of letter.

If what is being reported is inaccurate they should come out with an official statement saying so.

Until then there is bound to be speculation.

 

They might as well release a few hundred statements regarding what is said on ESB.

When it comes to credibility the Sun isn't exactly getting any awards.

 

The guy who covers boxing for the sun covered It for the News of the world and Warren moved to doing columns In the Sun when this guy did.

 

The point is Khan splitting with his trainer is big news in boxing.

If Khan's people had put out an official press statement it may have prevented some of the stories that are circulating as to how and why Khan & Harrison parted ways.

 

Unless he is moving to America this is a bad move, we all know what happened to Arthur when he thought the grass was greener on the other side.

 

Going to the US doesn't always mean much, Dunne and Duddy didn't become any better.

 

Khan's promoter Frank Warren will hold a press conference in London on Thursday where it is expected he will announce the Bolton fighter's new coach.

A Sports Network spokesman said: "We're looking to announce the new trainer on Thursday.

"Frank has been speaking to Amir about it. There were a few trainers in the frame - a couple of British trainers and a few Americans."

 

Perhaps worth noting that the thread starter quoted the News of the World as the source for Khan and Harrison splitting - which turned out to be accurate.

 

Agree. Good move but depends more on who replaces him. Tbh, I and a few other posters have suggested this some time now ago

I'm sure he did dump him by letter but do you seriously believe that this hit Harrison out of the blue? I'm sure he wasn't dumped like someone getting dumped by text message. :huh

How anyone can believe that **** amazes me

PS Don't be surprised by posters on here using it against the all powerful and evil force that is The Khan. U should be used to it on here. :-(

 

the worst punishment warren could give khan is sticking him in with a monsterous puncher like Acelino Freitas if khan thinks of signing with another promoter

 

never rated harison...great move if its to one of the top amrican trainers

 

Seems Harrison has now spoken out - according to The Bolton News.

Harrison quoted as saying he has not had any contact with Khan since his last fight.

Thought they got on well personally and professionally but hasn't heard anything from Khan since April 5th.

He has just read what has happened in the papers.

Says it doesn't add up - doesn't understand why Khan has gone to an american trainer.

Khan's father quoted as saying he tried to contact Harrison fortnight before his last fight but Harrison didn't return calls.

Confirms they sent Harrison a letter informing him of their decision.

 

Khan's father Shah said the decision to bring in a new trainer had been made prior to the Kristjansen fight, and he was disappointed Harrison did not appear likely to remain part of the reshuffled team.

"Oliver has got Amir to this level and we felt that to get to the next level may take somebody from America," he said.

"But we would have loved for Oliver still to have been involved.

"Amir's amateur coach Mick Jelley is still a big part of Amir's set-up so that goes to show how we look after his former trainers. But we simply have not been able to get in touch with Oliver to discuss this.

"The only alternative we were left with was to put everything in writing. It was not the best way but it was the only way that remained open to us. We have a fight coming up on June 21, and we had to make decisions."
