Amir Khan’s comeback opponent has been revealed

“I can’t wait to get back into the ring on April 21 at the Echo Arena in Liverpool,” Khan told Sky Sports.

“Phil Lo Greco will be coming with everything to win this fight and I’m not going to give him an inch. He’s an aggressive fighter who is always looking to press the fight and come forward.

“That makes for a very exciting and action-packed fight for the fans.

“I respect him as a fighter and know he will be coming with big ambitions, but I’m going to put on a great performance and prove to the boxing world that the ‘King’ is well and truly back.”

However, it’s fair to say that fans were bemused by the choice of opponent.

Undercard looking good so far, what’s the main event then?
