Big-punching Prescott delivers Khan’s wake-up call

AMIR KHAN believes the first defeat of his career has given him a “kick up the backside” after being spectacularly knocked out in less than a minute by Colombian Breidis Prescott.

A stunning 54-second knockout defeat in Manchester on Saturday night left his world title dreams in tatters with promoter Frank Warren admitting they would have to go “back to the drawing board”.

However, Khan insisted he still has complete confidence in new trainer Jorge Rubio despite the Cuban suggesting Prescott as an opponent before watching his young charge get blown away by the big-punching South American.
