Former unified light-welterweight world champion Amir Khan’s impending battle with the skilled Luis Collazo will be screened live and exclusive on BoxNation in the UK.
Amir fights as the co-main event on the Floyd Mayweather vs. Marcos Maidana bill taking place on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
“All I am focused on is May 3rd and getting past Luis Collazo,” said Amir. “He’s a tremendous fighter that is coming off a great win against Victor Ortiz. My aim is to establish myself in the division and a fight against a full blown welterweight in Collazo offers me that chance. It’s going to be a great fight and one not to be missed.”
The Bolton star goes in against Collazo, who ran Ricky Hatton close in their 2006 encounter, and recently overcame Victor Ortiz in a stunning upset.
“Defeating Victor Ortiz in January was just the beginning,” said Collazo. “Facing and beating Amir Khan on the biggest stage in the sport is a once in a lifetime opportunity. I will take full advantage of this and put myself in the best position to face the winner of the main event. I hope Khan is ready because Brooklyn is coming to take him down.”
It will be over 12 months since Amir last fought when he steps back into the ring on the exciting May 3rd mega bill.
