BOLTON’S Amir Khan wants to sign up Britain’s Olympic boxing heroes and make them professional stars.
The 2004 Athens silver medallist has linked up with Oscar De La Hoya to create Golden Boy UK Promotions to give British boxers the chance to fight on both sides of the Atlantic.
They have spoken to gold medal winners Luke Campbell and Anthony Joshua as well as silver medallist Fred Evans and bronze medallist Anthony Ogogo.
Campbell, Joshua and Ogogo are mulling over whether to go professional or stay amateur, while Evans is adamant he is staying in the unpaid ranks for another year at least.

Froch is still not a household name
I said Carl Froch is the real face of British boxing in MY EYES
Unfortunately HBO and Showtime would rather televise Khan,a guy that spends more time falling around the ring like bambi on rollerskates and lyin on his back than anything else.
**** that,Carl Froch is the real face of Birtitsh boxing in my eyes.Amir Khan is just a ****ing novelty act and a cash cow for Golden boy.

Khan is the face of british boxing. He hasnt had the most succesfull career right up to now. He has made loads of money and has crossed over. He would make a good advisor.

Chin or no chin. Out of the european fighter I at least give Khan credit for crossing over unlike the other europeans where they're scared to fight away from their back yard.
That and the fact that he graduated to fights where we all knew his chin would be tested, not the Molina fight though. He fights with his heart and sometimes pays the price. I didn't care for him before he came to America and he seemed to be ducking, now he's looking for bigger game. He gets my respect.
