I read somewhere that he persuaded the amateur authorities to allow him to go as preparation for the Olympics.

If you post the same question on the forum of warriorboxing.com, you'll probably get more of a response.

Again, warriorboxing.com may be an option.

I posted a similar question on the amateur scene which gave me these two sites...

Amir Khan is a BADMAN.

While I cannot ever see him beating Super Mario, he will get bronze or silver in the olympics. Gold if Mario is beaten elsewhere.

Anyway, the man to watch in Athens is Guillermo RIGONDEAUX Ortiz at 54kg. Obviously from Cuba.

i remember Jean Pascal from the commonwealth gamnes, very impressive Canadian. Think he was a wleter or light middle. I assume he qualified..if so, look out for him.

Vitaly Taibert from Germany is the guy to watch out for at 57kg. This guys class and could be a future world champ. He won silver at the last world champs in Thailand and won gold in the Euros. Flashy hands down style, I think he'll adjust very well to the pro's. He's signed with Universum and will turn pro after Athens.

Khan has just won the gold.

Impressive indeed. He hammered a highly rated Cuban as well in the second round, giving him two standing counts.
