    Default Britain's Boxer of the Future

    Olympic silver medallist Amir Khan knocked down Steffy Bull in the third round of their lightweight bout to claim victory in Cardiff.
    The 20-year-old from Bolton made a solid start against his experienced Doncaster opponent and was well in control in the opening two rounds.

    Once Khan got a chance in the third round he landed a left-hand body shot which caught Bull.

    Khan kept up the pressure and soon wrapped up his 12th pro fight victory.

    After his last victory against Mohammed Medjadi, which he completed in just 55 seconds, Khan was once again in impressive form.

    Lightening quick, hard puncher. Here's what Sugar Ray said about him.....

    "He has incredible hand speed, power, confidence, everything. As long as he's moved correctly and patiently, the kid is going to be a superstar,"

    Anyone watching the 'contender' fighter get a pounding by Joe Calzage the other night on HBO will have seen him on the card.

    That Peter Manfredo from 'contender' needs to understand that in a boxing match, you need to punch......

    Never seen this Khan fellow. One does have to respect Sugar Ray Leonard. Bright guy, and a great boxer. Even after all that physical trauma, still a very bright guy.

    Keep an eye out for Khan, AC. He won the silver in the last Olympics, losing to the Cuban Kindella, who Khan beat once he became pro. Record is 12-0-0, with about 9 KO's.

    He's fast as lightening, a hard puncher and wiley with it. His fight the other night was the first televised in the US (HBO) but you'll see more and more of him soon.

    Agree ref Sugar Ray....
