Amir Kahn To Fight Collazo

The pakistani British born boxer Amir Kahn (27), will be debuting in the Welterweight bout on the undercard for the WBC champion, Floyd Mayweather's fight against Marcos Maidana in Las Vegas.

Amir Kahn made the announcement on his twitter page, that he will be fighting the Puerto Rican boxer, Luis Collazo on the 3rd of May.

He was hoping to fight the undefeated American champion, Floyd Mayweather, but in the last minute the champion chose to fight Maidana instead, which made the British fighter to angrily say that he (Mayweather), ''wanted an easier fight.''

''Mayweather decided not to take the fight with me, probably because he thought I would be the first to take away his unbeaten record, and is now fighting somebody I've already beaten,'' he said.

''I think the fight with Mayweather will happen one day, but I'm not rushing and it will happen when I'm ready.''

Amir Kahn was a two time world champion in the WBA and IBF light-welterweight category. Read also: africanfootie.blogspot.com

He achieved this at the age of 22 years, and he was the youngest British boxer to win a silver medal in the olympics, at the age of 17 years, in the Athens Olympics in 2004.

Kahn was obviously disappointed, because the Weltherweight category is where the money is being made.

He has not fought since last April, when he defeated Julio Diaz (32), in Sheffield. The boxer said that, he has spoken to Mayweather and the champion promised him, that they will fight one day.
