KHAN VS. MALIGNAGGI LONDON & NEW YORK PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

AMIR KHAN, Current WBA Super Lightweight World Champion

“Its always been my dream to fight here in the U.S. and I know there will be a lot of pressure on me not fighting in front of my U.K. fans, but I made a name over there and now I’m ready to come make a name for myself here.

“I have a test in front of me on May 15 at Madison Square Garden, the ‘Mecca of Boxing.’  On May 15, Paulie’s New York fans will become my fans when I beat him here.

“I’m very excited for my U.S. debut, at first they told me it would be against Marquez, but he pulled out and Malignaggi’s name came up and I wanted the fight.  I think all things happen for a reason and I’ll be ready for him.
