AMIR KHAN has revealed that he is finally winning the fight against his toughest opponent – himself.
The former four-time world champion will meet Mexican Julio Diaz, 33, at Sheffield’s Motorpoint Arena on April 27.
And he believes domestic fans will see an improved fighter as Khan makes his first appearance on these shores for two years.
Khan, 26, will be having his second fight under new trainer Virgil Hunter and said: “At last, I am finally cutting out a lot of the mistakes I was making.”

At some point he's gonna get hit cleanly. Danny hit him with one clean shot Prescott hit him with one clean shot both KO'd him. Once you get to a certain level you can't avoid being hit cleanly it's gonna happen no matter what. Floyd avoids getting hit cleanly that's what makes him great. Khan is no Floyd.
He took flush shots from Maidana as well(who is arguable a stronger puncher then both)and did not fold..There is also away you can take punches better if ya see them coming..Khan is a tall guy who fights small,but does not know how to fight small..I believe if Khan can see the punches better he can take um better..Both shots that hurt Khan(from Garcia and Prescott)were shots Khan really did not see coming,and landed when he was throwing some shots of his own..Not so much about the punch being clean,as much as it's about Khan not seeing it..
If Hunter can get Khan to fight tall,dictate pace,and be a bit more defensive minded..Khan can become a really good fighter,I don't believe you can really fix Khans chin..But I do think there's ways of making it very hard to reach it..
Khan's conditioning is going to have to be up(and I mean up)to pull it off..But Hunter is a trainer who knows what it takes,it's really up to Khan and him letting go of the ego and really getting focused on his craft...
LMAO @ stupid Khan fans.
Just like Amir themselves they credit the Peterson fight as a win.
Like it or not - Peterson won the fight and battered Khan around the ring. Khan and his legion of nutsack washing morons can make any excuse they want.
Hilarious to see people say Khan has a better resume than other fighters when Khan is the one who has been knocked out in 15 seconds by a guy every other legit JWW would shut out.
Hilarious also that Khan picks a 143lb catchweight against a 135lb fighter. If Khan wants to stay at 140 he should fight at 140 especially against midgets.
Maidana and Prescott would have been happy to fight at 143....no offers made.. hmmmm
Also, you have to be a real idiot to believe Khan tried to make bigger fights than this one. I just laugh thinking about him and his team of cheapskates offering Peterson $5,000 to travel to the UK for his precentage of a 98/2 split in favor of Khan - the belt less, d*ckless loudmouth.

The Mistakes I've Been Making Are Disappearing except for my chinny chin chin.
Maybe he has reinvented himself and knows how to avoid/take a punch. Perhaps in a similar fashion that Wladimir Klitschko did with Manny Steward. Might be more difficult for Khan.
We will have to wait and see.
How about teach him not to get hit so often..There's a start..

Khan is very talented but at the end of the day he can't take a punch from a real puncher. Unless Virgil can change his chin what else can he do??

Khan gets hate on here because of his brown skin and heritage. Real talk.
No mate, Khan gets hate because he cannot keep his mouth shut, he shoots his mouth and then blames everyone else when he loses.
Nothing at all to do with his "brown skin and heritage", he has come out today and had a pop at Brook, while at the same time saying Brook is not in his thoughts!! Forgive me but if he aint in his thoughts, why bothrer mentioning him? Maybe it is because he likes to ride th ecoat tails of every other fighter , just to keep his face in the picture !!
I have been to watch Kahn fight 8 times, I think he is a great fighter, but he is an arsehole outside of the ring !
No worries mate and i never said i think Tommy is European class. I just said he's unproven at the highest level whilst Khan has proved he can mix it at world level.
Each to our own opinion. Have a nice day pal.
You to Bud - debate again some time it's nice to talk to some one who is not rude and willing share opinions and respect others view point.
This debate is going in circles let agree you think Khan is world class I think he is good but below world class you think Tommy is European level I think Tommy has the potential to be world class - not much else to say but maybe one day we can have a cup of coffee and debate in person because alot gets lost in translation.

Mate, everyone is entitled to their opinion and all and i hate to be harsh but this is an absolutely horrendous post. There's so much wrong with this post i don't even know where to begin.
Let's start here. I've never seen Tommy in the media full stop.
There's no claiming. It's a fact. Khan has proved he is a world level fighter. Love him or hate him there's absolutely no denying that whatsoever.
So i suppose if Tommy get's close to a fight with Ward he will claim he will lose to Ward? Yeah? He won't say he can beat Ward? Well that's nice to know. No need for a fight with Ward then is there. Tommy himself will tell us all he will lose to Ward. What a nice chap. There there.

Hi Roy Jones JR- 2 different topics, 2 different debates - just aks yourself this have you ever seen Tommy come out on the Media and talk as much rubbish as Khan blaming others for his failures criticising his coach in Khans case Roach etc then claiming to be this world class fighter like you guys are falling for - has Tommy ever been KO'd - yes I am supporting Tommy on here as it is my opinion he will go on to achieve this at least he does'nt run from opponents in the ring and then claim to be able to beat Ward like our Friend Khan who thinks he can beat Mayweather and disrespecting Kell Brook along the way.

Are you kidding me? That's an excuse, he was fighting at that weight for years and could make it today. Kotelnik, Peterson, Maidana, Malignaggi, Salita, McCloskey, Judah, Barrera - Are you saying Garcia's or Peterson's resume is better than that run of fights?
Now while I agree with you Khan has the best resume at the weight(Right now)Paulie Salita Mccloskey Barrera were all business fights..Meaning those were fights made to make Khan look good and help market him..I don't give Khan much credit for any of them..But what does make Khan have the best resume(Right Now)are his wins over Kotelnik(ranked num 6 at the weight with a belt)Judah(ranked num 6 at the weight with a belt)and Maidana(ranked num 4 at the weight)..Also for being in the ring with Peterson(ranked num 5 or 6 at the weight)and Garcia(ranked num 2 at the weight)..
Khan has a very impressive resume,and not Peterson Garcia or Matt's can match it..Which is why I really don't count Khan out,just wanna see the improvement with my eyes..Not hear about it..
:lol1:
Are you not the guy preaching to everyone how Tommy Oosthuizen is the only real threat to Ward? :D
For someone who's trying to preach how an untested nobody is the only real threat to one of the top 3 P4P fighters in the game, you're awfully quick to dismiss the achievments of a proven world level fighter like Khan.

Hi Yes I can: Garcia has faced Kendal Holt,Nate Campbell, Erik Morales and KO'D khan himself and will be fighting Judah next. - Petersen has faced Kendal Holt,Victor Ortiz,Tim Bradley and Cayo and his next fight is Matthysse which is arguably tougher than any of Khans opponents - so yes I can
