Match: Amir Khan vs Dmitiry Salita
Date : December 5, 2009
Venue: Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom
Title : WBA junior Welterweight Championship
After wins over Marco Antonio Barrera and Andreas Kotelnik in his last two fights, Britain’s Amir Khan has put the one-round shocker against Breidis Prescott firmly behind him. Now Khan hopes to embark on the next phase of his career, which is to become a global superstar. The Khan camp is believed to have spoken with HBO executives in Las Vegas last month — introductions were made when the British fighter was in town for the Pacquiao-Cotto fight. I had a few words with Khan and it was clear to me that he would love to see his name in lights on the famous strip.
So, Khan’s WBA 140-pound title defence against Dmitriy Salita in Newcastle on Saturday (Sky Box Office in the U.K.) is of far-reaching importance. Khan is a big name in Britain. An impressive showing against Salita would be the ideal launching pad to widen his horizons.
