Looking like a done deal. [url]http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/boxing/article-2334650/Amir-Khan-v-Devon-Alexander-world-title-Dubai-December.html[/url] Richard Schaefer, chief executive of Golden Boy, confirmed: Amir needs one fight at welterweight, along with a title, to set up the match with Floyd. He is getting that chance against Devon, who has agreed the fight. We will be finalising and signing the contracts in the next couple of weeks. Schaefer will then fly to Dubai next month to examine potential venues and begin the organisation of an historic event. He says: We have opened discussions with the ruling family of the Emirates who have made it very clear that they are keen to put on a major boxing event. This is very exciting for Amir and all of us. If he defeats Devon, preferably in style, the next step for him would be against Floyd.
Khan will get a lot of exposure out there,between the British ex-pats and the wealthy Muslims looking for someone to get behind. If Naz was around today,he could have made a FORTUNE out there. Well...a bigger fortune than he actually made!
Devon by KO in 7 rounds. Khan is being rushed again. The winner of this bout should face the Maidana-Lopez winner. It would be a good fight no matter who ends up in the ring and opens up a big payday against Floyd.
If Khan wins this and doesnt get the Floyd fight, and if Brooke manages to win a couple of decent fights in the meantime, starting with Jones, then you could have a big All-England clash on the cards.
Khan will defnitely be getting a fight with Mayweather if he wins. Golden Boy have been desperate for this fight for a couple of years now and know that it would do big business in England. Mayweather has always stated he wants to fight in the UK, too.
