By Jake Donovan - This weekend doesn’t pose the ideal situation for Amir Khan. The 2004 Olympic silver medalist and former unified 140 lb. titlist hasn’t fought since last December and isn’t even facing his desired opponent once he steps into the ring to face Danny Garcia at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.
Khan was hoping to avenge last year’s loss to Lamont Peterson. Plans were in place for a May 19 rematch but were canceled once Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone during pre-fight random drug testing. Comments were made by Khan and his handlers, questioning the validity of the first fight and filing even more protests over a verdict that never sat well with the Brit.
Rather than continue to stress over unfinished business, Khan now focuses on what lies immediately ahead. There’s no concern about what can happen with a win, a tactic the British star has employed far too often in the past. Instead, a maturation process has set in as all of Khan’s attention is placed solely on Garcia and the best means of victory over the Philly fighter this weekend. [Click Here To Read More]
