Summary Khan has refused his option of enactment of rehydration clause
NEW YORK (Dunya News) – Pakistan-born international boxer Amir Khan has claimed that he would win middleweight championship on May 7 in Los Angeles, Dunya News reported Wednesday.
Khan and his rival, ‘Canelo’ Alvarez addressed a press conference in New York’s Hard Rock Cafe.
The boxer from London’s Bolton is moving up two weight classes against the Mexican rival. However, the 29-year-old looked at ease in the media tour. Alvarez has only lost once during his professional career.
It should be mentioned here that Pope Francis has declared both the boxers ambassadors of peace.
Alvarez is heavier than Khan but experts have said that the two are identical in their reach and height. It should be noted here that the former Olympic silver medalist, Khan has refused his option of enactment of rehydration clause.
The clause restricts the heavier opponent to only putting in ten pounds after both the boxers are weighed a day before the fight.
Khan said that he does not want people to think that his opponent was too dehydrated or small and thus he won. He said that he would beat him fair and square.
