I Will Not Be a Pushover, Kristjansen Warns Khan
Boxing: Martin Kristjansen claimed he was 'not impressed' with Amir Khan in advance of their world title eliminator
Martin Kristjansen, the 30-year-old Dane who fights Amir Khan in a WBO world lightweight title eliminator in Bolton on Saturday, says he will expose the limitations of the undefeated Commonwealth champion and ruin his ambitions of winning a world title this year.
Kristjansen said: "Khan is saying this will be the easiest fight of his career. If he believes that, he is in for a big surprise. I've watched his last three fights and not been impressed. He is strong and fast but is still young and does not have the experience I have. He might think he can stop me inside three rounds, and I will let him carry on thinking that, but I've trained for a long hard fight so he better be prepared."
