The BBC reort that ... Amir Khans next fight will be on 2nd february at the Excel Arena in London against Danish fighter Martin Kristjansen. kristjansen has a record of 19 wins, 1 loss and 3 draws. Only 5 of his wins coming by KO. So much for the Romanov fight ......
Looks like kristjansen has the 'EU' title, so i imagine that will be on the line. I hope Warren doesnt try to sell us that as the European title !!!!
slightly disappointing...i see its for the wbo intercontinental trinket and fw is trying to make this an eliminator for the full wbo title. wonder if he'll now vacate the commonwealth
make that "very" disappointing...i was looking forward to seeing him against thaxton or romanov, but this choice of opponent creates yet more questions on FWs faith in his man, while creating a path to avoid anyone dangerous. wonder if FW is anticipating diaz moving upto lww.
IMO kristjansen is right up there as one of the best of all time. superb athlete who is a credit to the spoirt i watched kristjansen perform many times and every time without fail kristjansen raised the bar and set new levels. i would say the 2nd best ever mind you that was ingrid not this bloke.
Shame it's not Romanov. On the other hand, it's a much more sensible option if you're aiming at a Euro belt. Get a couple fights with Euro title contenders first.
this is a tactical move by frank. i suppose its better in the long run, but as fans we wanted ramanov.
