How is Salita the mandatory challenger for Khan

Post by slapbangwhallop »

Khan states - "He's a mandatory (challenger) for the title, but I don't see what the big hoo-ha is about, because at the end of the day, if they really want the fight and I'm giving Salita a chance to fight for my title, I think he should grab that with both hands."

Forgive my ignorance but how can Salita be the mandatory challenger when Maidana holds the interim title?

Two words: Bob Arum. :TU:

Of course by that I mean Mr.Arum has done a wonderful job in getting Salita extremely tough world class competition such as the amazing 20-11-1 Raul Munoz and so Salita has fairly earnt his status as mandatory challenger.

Khan isn't doing him a favour at all, as he says he is the mandatory challenger so khan has to fight him, even though he is crap and khan and his team will be more than happy because once again it is a low risk contest against a non puncher :witzend:

You only have to take the mandatory if the other team has some influence. Like when JC had to have the rematch v Veit in Germany. If on the other hand you had Freeman Barr's team it is all together different

Salita was mandatory after he won on the Jones Calzaghe card.
