Amir Khan believes his world title unification fight against Zab Judah on Saturday will prove beyond doubt he is Britain's premier fighter. Khan, 24, will be defending his WBA light-welterweight crown in Las Vegas against IBF title-holder Judah.
"Pound-for pound, I'm way ahead of all the other British fighters, and I think people know that," Khan told BBC Sport. "HBO think I'm the best British fighter, the most skilful and the most exciting to watch."
Among the men who might reject Khan's claims are Nottingham's WBC super-middleweight champion Carl Froch, who fights American Andre Ward in Atlantic City on 29 October, and two-weight world champion David Haye, who was beaten by Wladimir Klitschko earlier this month. While Khan's latest fight will be broadcast by HBO in the United States, in the UK it will be shown on fringe satellite channel Primetime after Sky declined the bout.
