    It's not as much of a given as you may think.

    haye ducked a press conference and look what happened to enzo


    who knows, gomez could be in the shape of his life, and therefore staying away from the public eye, so that he can spring an upset.

    Reason for Gomez non-attendance.... Sports Network changed the date for the final press conference late tuesday night..... lol lol lol..... The final press conference is always on a thursday with the weigh in on the friday..... Why would they change the date, they had booked the hotel for Thurs night and everything.... Maybe someones a bit nervous.

    Khan also recieved some news he probably didn't want to hear....

    This is so funny feel like a school kid stirring trouble.

    Talking to Gomez a bit later hopefully so i'll give you guys some more info..... The biggest shocker is out of the bag I think but want to check before I say anything.

    God knows what this may be........

    The fight has been changed to a WBO intercontintal title fight?

    Khan is struggling to make 135?

    Khan has signed a deal with Hennessy Sports?

    Khan has had the nerve to negotiate his own television deal?

    Im on the edge of my seat here.......

    Not lol.

    Amir Khan branded Michael Gomez an "idiot" and accused him of running scared
    after the Manchester fighter failed to show up for a press conference ahead of
    Saturday's Commonwealth title fight in Birmingham.

    Khan said he had hoped to share the platform with Gomez, who has a history of
    confrontational behaviour in head-to-head press conferences and had claimed he
    intended to get under the Bolton man's skin.

    Khan said: "He's scared. I was looking forward to seeing him and he's not
    turned up but his stupid games don't bother me.


    Old big head: Amir Khan with a picture of Michael Gomez

    "You know what an idiot Michael Gomez can be. I'll let my fists do the talking
    on Saturday night."

    Promoter Frank Warren, who announced a 10,000 sell-out at the National Indoor
    Arena for the return of big-time boxing to the city, accused Gomez of showing a
    lack of respect.

    Warren said: "It's very disappointing. We had a message saying he was coming
    and then he changed his mind.

    "It's not about selling tickets. It's about showing respect to the media and
    your opponent."

    Khan insists he is in the shape of his life for his clash with the former
    British super-featherweight champion, whose patchy form in recent years has not
    convinced his new team to take the fight lightly.

    Khan's new trainer Dean Powell said Gomez's stunning 2003 knockout win over
    previously unbeaten Alex Arthur proved the Manchester man has what it takes to
    triumph against the odds.

    Powell said: "Gomez is going to bring a special kind of intensity to the
    fight. We all know how Michael Gomez likes to fight and we are fully prepared
    for what he's going to bring.

    "Amir certainly doesn't need to get involved in World War Three with Gomez.
    But Gomez is going to have a big shock if he thinks he can shove Amir around the
    way he shoved Alex Arthur around."

    They think sparring Jon Fewkes and Denton Vassell is going to replicate the experiance and pressure Gomez brings?

    Jeez I nearly pissed myself when I saw Khan's sparring partners. I really like Fewkes and think he is an hot prospect and possibly a future European title candidate but no way is he suited to bring the style of Gomez. ****ing madness.
