Oisin Fagan to fight Amir Khan

[slapbangwhallop]

Anyone else hear this?

[Counter-puncher]

no chance he's tough and comes to fight SN won't want him as khan's first opponent back

[Old bones Ian]

I've seen this in a couple of the papers, but every Khan fight we hear a few names before anything is set.
Fagan is a tough comeback opponent if it happens,

[Dioufy]

... That's the story on Sky Sports News anyways.

It's a bit shit, isn't it.

[Wales]

not a bad fight, he's been in with spadafora and to be fair Khan had hic clock cleaned last fight so its acceptable imo.

[Dioufy]

I think Gethin would've been acceptable. I know he has two stoppages over Siddique and Fewkes but come on, Siddique was fucked and Fewkes didn't look arsed. It's an easy win for Khan I believe and it's against someone who looks better than he is, on paper.

But that's just my opinion.

[Lenny]

Fagan is a good little comeback fight imo, he's tough, won't be stopped and will keep coming forward all night. Good test to see if Amir had tightened up under Roach

[metropol]

I dont think this will happen, Im sure theyll want to get an easy fight for a comeback

[Asterix]

We should find out for sure tomorrow: http://www.allegedly.tv/drill/News/Ar ... rs123.html

Amir Khan's comeback opponent will be announced at a London press conference on Thursday.

It is Fagan

Good call sligobhoy67

[Goz]

Khan fights Fagan in a Christmas panto boxing send up of Oliver Twist? Will 'Oliver' Khan be asking 'please sir can I have some more?'.

Will the real Fagan (Fwankie) send Amir out to plunder more money from the pockets of the innocent average fan and put this on PPV?

[steve689]

I should be speaking with Oisin soon so will ask him about this story for starters.

get yer coat! lol!

No plundering of PPV here - you'll get the ODLA v Pacman fight as well.

Decent value I suppose!

Best not suggest who might be suited suited to the nancy character for feat of defamation charges

[Dioufy]

I stand corrected fella's - I thought Fagan was a little too inferior for Khan because I have never seen him fight. I simply went off his BoxRec record. My mates have since told me he's a good comeback fight and I am now inclined to go with that opinion.

And it has now been confirmed as Fagan

not confirmed yet but should be today

[Coco]

It should be an excellent learning fight for Khan, really good choice of opponent, and you have to do much more than turn up to beat someone like Fagan

agreed much tougher fight than i would have expected.

[scotty]

Confirmed now, was interviewed on Bunces boxing hour - Fagan that is

Same here. Credit to whoever made it happen.

[banjo]

Much better comeback opponent than I expected.

[Spud]

Safe choice of opponent in my view for Khan - whilst it is not a knock over job, and clearly Fagan has to be respected it is in my view a safe choice when you consider Khan and anyone near him still believe in the "barking mad" view he will win a world title.

If Khan was expected to go no further than domestic class then Fagan is a tough fight - but he is not - and the hype for anyone mug enough to believe it will still continue.

Ex-IBF Lightweight titlist Paul Spadafora had a tough time with Fagan last year. Quite a few people felt Fagan deserved the decision.

How do people think this will go? Similar to the St Clair fight?
