His fight isnt being moved to the Belfast card, instead it had been decided he will have a couple of months break.
They may then keep that same opponent, or allegedly has said they may go for tougher opposition. We shall see.

I guess beating tomato cans is tiring for a 20 year old.

I doubt they'll keep the same opponent as it might give the lad a decent chance to work out Khan's style. His new opponent will be announced a week before the new date.

A break? Has he even been forced to break a sweat yet?

In fairness he is learning more in training camps than he is in fights at the moment anyway. Don't see it as too terrible but I would realy like him to take on someone who will put a bit of pressure on. Posibly one of those african fighters who would be happyer fighting in a phone box (Valery Odin types at welterweight), I think that sort of stuff would be good for Kahn at this stage leave him so he knows he has been in a fight has to think about his shots but should be able to get some clean work in.

I think Khan is fighting on the 20th though:

20th of
May...
www.bbc.co.uk wrote:Promoter allegedly said he hoped Khan's next fight would be on his King's Hall bill in Belfast on 20 May.
"I spoke to his dad and we decided we'd let him have a break," said Warren.
Instead, Khan will begin to prepare for his next scheduled fight on 20 May.
"It's not really a problem and a young guy at this stage of the game should be in the gym," added Warren.
"After the fight in May we'll get him back in the ring some time in July."

Fair point, obvious confusion there.
