Amir Khan Training With Manny Pacquiao As Preparation For Oisin Fagan

Amir Khan has a stiff test to face next week when he steps into the ring and takes on Irish-American Oisin Fagan in what is set to be an absolute belter of a boxing bout at London`s ExCeL Arena. The fight is coincidentally happening on the exact same night as the much-hyped Oscar De La Hoya-Manny Pacquiao battle, which will take place in front of a capacity crowd in Las Vegas.

THE WRATH OF KHAN

Amir Khan has been under some stiff pressure thanks to his humiliating performance in his last fight where he was knocked down twice and knocked out completely within less than a minute of the match starting. His so-called `crystal jaw` will be in for a test as he takes on Fagan, who is said to have a game-plan for Khan already figured out. He`s faced questions about how `chinny` he really is after his fight with Michael Gomez exposed some of Khan`s previously unknown flaws.

STIFF COMPETITION

Having the much-bigger Manny Pacquiao face off against him in practice rounds is supposedly preparing Amir Khan to take a barrage of punches from Oisin Fagan and keep on fighting. After his loss to Colombia`s Breidis Prescott, Khan was galvanized to prove his critics wrong. In a recent interview he declared ``I`ve dealt with my defeat by working hard.``

The odds for the much-anticipated bout are still to be released, but Khan`s odds of securing the World Championship are currently sitting at 12.5 on Betfair.
