Khan eyes a bright future
BOXING: Amir Khan is hoping victory over WBA light-welterweight champion Andreas Kotelnik will earn him a superfight with Ricky Hatton.
The Bolton fighter is being linked with a showdown with “The Hitman” but first must assume world champion status with victory against Ukrainian Kotelnik in Manchester on Saturday night.
“This is a fight that is going to catapult me to the bigger fights. I need to win this fight to take me to the next level,” he said. “The fight with Ricky, if it happens, it happens. We are both not pushing it, we’ll see what the promoters say.”
