Well done that man!

Amir Khan fulfilled his ambition of becoming a world champion last night, delivering a crafted boxing lesson to lift the World Boxing Association light-welterweight championship belt from around the waist of a strong determined champion in Ukrainian Andreas Kotelnik.

Khan, only 22, won a landslide unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards 120-108, 118-111, 118-111. The Bolton boy who has become a man enjoyed partisan support from many in the 10,000 crowd and in an enthralling fight, played out at a breakneck pace, displayed all his athletic skills.

It was thrilling fare from Khan whose lightning hand speed and fitness gave him the advantages to go well ahead on points in the first ten rounds.

Khan moved to 21 wins 1 loss; Kotelnik to 32 wins (13 KOs), 1 draw, and his third loss. Khan must now try to lure Ricky Hatton back for another fight.
