WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan has issued a few verbal jabs at his former promoter Frank Warren. Khan's temper was raised after reading an article where Warren made a few critical comments about the British boxer's attendance figures for his fights in the United States. Khan disputes those comments and tells Warren that lightweight Kevin Mitchell is going to knock John Murray out on July 9th.
"[I] read a article on Frank Warren about me, how I came to America and it was bad [and] I didn't even sell 2,000 tickets.....bollocks. He's burning. The only fighters that sell out arenas [in the UK] - are me, [Carl] Froch and [David] Haye. None of us are with Warren. Doesn't that say something? Message to Mr. Frank Warren. John Murray can't even sell out his back garden let alone a Leisure Centre. In my eyes he will get knocked out by Mitchell," Khan stated.
