World Title holder blasts Khan<\/h3>\n
\"\"THE MAN standing in the way of Amir Khan\u2019s ultimate goal of becoming a world champion has launched a sensational verbal attack on the Bolton star, calling him a fraud.<\/strong> <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Khan, who has made no secret his desire to be crowned the youngest world champion, beat Dane Martin Kristjansen this month to set up the possibility of a mouth-watering clash with American champ Nate Campbell. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

36-year-old Campbell admitted he had followed Khan\u2019s career since his heroics at the Athens Olympic\u2019s but dismissed the level of opposition the Bolton Boxer has fought since turning professional. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“Khan’s a big fraud. A lot of guys out there are talking the talk but it’s me who is walking the walk\u201d, Campbell said.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“Who’s Khan fought? Willie Limond? He couldn’t even punch and he almost knocked Khan out. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“So what’s going to happen when he fights a guy like me who can box, throws in volume, can slug, has great defence, a great inside game and a great outside game? <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“He’s fighting guys like Kristjansen who couldn’t score a knockout with a hammer. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“Look at the knockout ratios of the guys Khan has fought and then look at my knockout ratio. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“I can do anything there is in the ring to do. I haven’t been hurt or down in my whole career so I’m not worried about Amir Khan. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“I’m only worried about how much they’re going to pay me. I hope Khan’s stupid enough not to be afraid\u201d.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

While Khan is eager for a title shot, promoter Fran Warren admitted he would like to see Khan in one more fight before a title challenge is considered. <\/div>\n
