What they’ve said
Amir Khan: “I still feel strong, I was running against the young 23-year-olds (in training camp), then sparring against 25-year-olds who are at the peak of their career – and I was out boxing them,” said Khan.
“I was doing so well, so I was thinking to myself ‘age is just a number for me’. I work harder than most young fighters.
“My work rate was a lot harder than theirs, and this was against young up-and-coming fighters who I believe will become world champions. I really feel young, explosive and strong.”
Samuel Vargas: “I have been granted more than enough time to properly prepare for Amir and you will see the best Samuel Vargas to date.
“Mark my words, we might both be from the same city and county but I am nothing like Phil Lo Greco that’s a guarantee – I’m going to give Amir hell.”
