Amir Khan: The lengthy training camp has enhanced my strength and power – Boxing News
Amir Khan, the former IBF and WBA super world light welterweight champion, revealed the extended training session has made him more powerful and strong, adding that Danny Garcia will get hit from every corner of the ring and will succumb to his wrath.
Amir will take on Danny Garcia in a 12-round bout to reclaim his WBA super world light welterweight gold and dethrone the Philadelphia proud from his WBC light welterweight reign. While moving towards the July 14, 2012 wild ride, much has been said and vowed
from both camps.
Inching towards most probably the toughest and significant bout of their careers, the duo is not ready to easily let go their stance, ego and above all respect.
Amid all this hustle bustle, Khan and his teammates are concentrating on revamping the Bolton lad’s strength and abilities. Khan and his trainer, Freddie Roach, recently shared their view point regarding the long 18-19 weeks training camp that quite frankly
is being questioned a lot.
Khan was of the view that there is no reason at all of getting exhausted, adding that all that rigorous training has come to fruition and now he feels the power and strength accumulating in his arms and body.
Amir stated, “It’s given me more power, strength and explosiveness than I’ve ever had before.” Roach is also confident that Khan has evolved into a totally different pugilist and stated, “Amir came back here fresh, and we brought in different sparring partners
for him based on the change of opponent to Garcia and with Amir’s new strength coach, he’s hitting harder.”
Khan acquired the services of world renowned fitness and conditioning coach, Ruben Tabares before his engagement with Lamont Peterson. After the bout got cancelled, (Lamont tested positive for illegal drug usage) Khan again started his training while keeping
in mind Garcia.
At the moment, Khan’s confident comments of giving a lesson to the young Pennsylvanian hailing WBC champion exhibit that he really feels strong and all that training and efforts put into by the newly hired Ruben has started to pay off.
When asked that what Danny should expect in the ring, Khan stated, “He will be getting hit from every corner of the ring and will suffer the wrath of Khan.” Let’s hope that Amir does keep his vows intact because Danny is not a simple, below par pugilist.
After all he does possess a win over legendary Erik Morales.
