It's being reported by The Sun that 2004 Olympic silver medal winner Amir Khan has fired trainer Jorge Rubio, who trained him for the 54-second knockout loss to unbeaten Colombian puncher Breidis Prescott. Promoter Frank Warren had said it was Rubio who suggested Prescott as the opponent, telling Khan's team that Prescott would fall apart after three-rounds.

The paper reports that Freddie Roach is going to be the new man taking over the corner for Khan. The young lightweight star is said to be returning in December against an opponent to be announced.

“Amir is coming here to California with his father and attorney. They want to talk to me about rebuilding his career. I heard he suffered a bad knockout,” Roach told the paper.
