Khan's next opponent..

... is Mlungisi Dlamini for the WBF strap, Commonwealth and that WBO inter-continental shite.

My dad works at Sports Network and he works on the publishing side and he's been told to find pictures of the guy with his belt for the poster.

Trust me... when have I ever let you down.

I aint sure on this but wouldn't Khan lose his ranking with the WBO if he holds another version of the World title, even if it is an obscure one.

If this guy is the next opponent I wont be suprised if it is not a WBF title fight.

not doubting the oppo but he wont fight for the WBF

he is too high profile

The WBO would drop him if he won the IBF, WBA, IBO or WBC belt. The IBA, WBF and WBU don't count towards that. Frank is very clever and wouldn't jepodise that.

so what of this mungojerryisi chap? anyone know anything about him? a cursory glance at his record suggests the usual feasting on no names, but an unusual KO ratio over 50%?

Frank says he needs to make the poster look appealing to the general public who don't have a massive insight in the sport of boxing. Frank says it will bode well with the public if Khan can beat an undefeated 'world' champion.

Good way to get the public up for Khan - it's just us boxing fans that suffer.

well the hater cant use the no power/low ko line

could be tricky, these africans are notoriously hard as fook

Derry Matthews will be on the card in an 8 rounder against Sandy Bartlett or Danny Wallace.

It's definitely one of them.

Curtis Woodhouse (the ex footballer) will also be on the undercard, as will Paul Smith who will be facing Steve Bendall.

Id imagine Audley will be too somehow.

It is a possibility and I'm sure Frank will have a word with him but I'm not sure whether Audley wants to fight in the UK anytime soon but you never know.

F**king hell, I hope this isn't true. I haven't been bothered about Khan's progress like some. He started off with a few knock over jobs like every other novice pro and more recntly he's beaten Limond, Lawton, St Clair and Earl which isn't bad going. However, the Kristjansen fight coupled with this one if it's true is a load of dogshite and not the right way to go if Khan is going to be challenging for a world title. Khan will have no easy way to a world title at lightweight either, so he should be getting stiff tests every time out now.

Is Paul Smith ever going to step up?

Another allegedly Production..

I reckon its time Amir fought a Solid Rated opponent if he wants the Title shot after this fight.

Well it looks like Khan will get the record then....

Poor show.

I defended Kristjansen (and his inactivity) - this though looks to be a backward step.

The WBO don't drop a fighter for holding the IBO title.

If this is true - which I have my doubts - Mr W arren is not going to be too pleased this is out.

I take it you've seen Mlungisi Dlamini fight then? If you haven't, aren't you criticising prematurely? This guy could actually be quite good.

I'm happy about a few things here: Unbeaten in 18 fights, 5' 10" and pretty good KO ratio. Also, he's The Killer Shark!

Obviously it's a shame no-one here has heard of him before, but he's spent almost all of his career in South Africa and he's young.

That was his 3rd pro fight, and he was around 19. I don't care if you watch it or not, but I think it's naive to dismiss Dlamini without seeing what he's like. Now on the flip side, I do understand that it would also be naive to think that he's going to be great. He was hand picked by allegedly after all.

Has anyone got any footage of him? Then, if he's crap, bash away.

Khan's next opponent..
