Amir Khan has proven his punches are sublimely accurate and ferocious by unleashing a barrage of shots on a milkshake bottle during training.
The 32-year-old is currently hard in training for his clash against WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford at Madison Square Garden on April 20.
A clip from his training camp was posted on Instagram by BT Sport and shows Khan working ferociously on a speed bag before finishing his routine with a huge left hand.
He then steps over to his coach, who his holding the drink. After a wipe of the towel and a quick sip to finish it off, Khan balances it on his fist before flicking it up into the air and striking it six times.
Khan then has the audacity to swat the bottle away with another huge left hook before he casually sits down on the side of the ring and starts to take his hand tape off.
The Bolton native will know he must be equally quick and accurate when he steps into the ring with Crawford, whose record stands at 34 wins from 34 fights with 25 knockouts and world titles at lightweight and light-welterweight.
Khan recently admitted he knows he must bring his ‘A’ game to come through against Crawford under the bright lights of New York City.
The 32-year-old turned down terms to finally meet British rival Kell Brook and instead will head to the Big Apple to face what will be a formidable challenge against one of the world’s finest fighters.
Khan has been training again with the respected Virgil Hunter, having delivered two victories working alongside Joe Goosen.
Khan recovered from a second-round knockdown to beat Colombian Samuel Vargas on points in his last contest during September 2018 in Birmingham.
He intends to step things up again when he walks out against 31-year-old southpaw Crawford, who in 2017 unified all four light-welterweight world titles.
‘We are training hard and sparring hard. I know Terence is a up there with the best pound-for-pound fighters and I respect what he has done. I am not taking this fight lightly,’ Khan said in a conference call on Tuesday.
‘But I know I can win this fight with my boxing skills, being smart and cause an upset. When I am an underdog, I perform at my best.
‘It is the perfect timing for this, I am at the peak of my career now at 32. I feel strong physically and am mentally prepared for this fight.
‘When this fight was put to me, a pay-per-view fight, I knew it was going to be a big fight and was a fight I want.’
