Los Angeles – Training out of the world famous Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, Amir Khan is preparing for his American debut against Paulie Malignaggi on May 15.
The blue chip junior welterweight Khan has a record of 22 wins with one loss and all of the bouts having taken place in the United Kingdom.
Last year Khan, wishing to raise his star to its fullest potential here in the United States, signed with the Los Angeles based promotional firm headed by Oscar De La Hoya, Golden Boy Promotions.
Sunday night Khan visited with The Boxing Truth Radio for an in-depth interview which touched upon several pertinent topics. Khan discussed his move to America, a future fight with dangerous contender Marcos Maidana, and about working with trainer Freddie Roach at the Wild Card.
It was also brought by myself if there might be any truth to the baseless accusations that Roach, his prized pupil and Khan sparring mate Manny Pacquiao might be up to some dirty business regarding the use of performance enhancing drugs.
Khan made it loud and clear, that those accusations have no merit from what he has seen first hand at the gym.
The Boxing Truth Radio welcomed potential boxing mega-star Amir Khan to the show as the young British prepares for his United States and HBO debut against Paulie Malignaggi on May 15, 2010 at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
Though Khan still needs to prove his stardom inside the ring, his personality and ability to engage the media, as displayed on The Boxing Truth Radio, could assist in making him a boxing icon.
From a future bout with Marcos Maidana, the unfounded questioning of fellow gym mate Manny Pacquiao’s performance enhancing drug use, and how Twitter brought the Malignaggi bout into being, Khan was not short on words.
All this, plus more, on the latest episode of The Boxing Truth Radio.
