Khan looks to add name to list of British champions in Vegas

AMIR KHAN is relishing his return to “the Mecca of boxing” when he takes on wily American veteran Zab Judah in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Lennox Lewis, Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe have all thrilled the masses in Sin City over the past decade and WBA light-welterweight champion Khan will look to add another chapter to that British lineage on the famous strip against 33-year-old IBF ruler Judah.

The Mandalay Bay Resort plays host to the unification match-up, the scene of Lewis’ comprehensive knockout of Hasim Rahman in 2001 and Khan’s own thrilling points triumph against Argentina’s Marcos Maidana last December.
