WBA light-welterweight champion Amir Khan (25-1, 15KOs) Vs. Dmitriy Salita (30-0, 16KOs) at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on Saturday 5th December promoter Frank Warren.
Warren said, “For Amir’s first defence this is a very tough fight for him and he’s taking on a fighter that the American media are really building up at the moment,”
“Salita’s got a great record, he’s unbeaten and carries a big punch and of course he will pose a threat to Amir, but Amir’s a world class fighter and has to deal with these challengers,”
“I’ve promoted a lot of shows in Newcastle with all the big names like Naz, Calzaghe, Hatton and Benn and I’m delighted to bring Amir to the city for the first time,”
“The public there are big sports fans and love the big events and it’s great to bring them a fight like Khan v Salita.”
