Mosley, 39, is looking to bow out of boxing on a high note, having not won a bout since 2009.</p><p>Once discussed as the best pound-for-pound boxer around, Mosley has suffered a steep decline, but still believes he can repair his bruised ego.</p><p>&#8220;I have to give it my 100% all, give it  everything I got, beat Pacquiao, we can do a rematch, fight Mayweather,  and I think that&#8217;s pretty much it for me,&#8221; Mosley told the <em>On the Ropes</em> radio show. &#8220;Then I will go off and I will stop helping these young  fighters become world champions and get into another side of the  business.&#8221;</p><p><a

Sky is the most important television station  in the UK when it comes to boxing, and in my opinion this has killed  Khan&#8217;s credibility here.</p><p>&#8220;I feel sorry for Amir Khan. It was obviously bad news that he had to  take a cut in moving from Sky Box Office to Sky Sports 3. He would  probably have got 80-to-100,000 pay-per-view buys on Sky Box Office, but  he would probably have had 700,000 watching on Sky Sports 3.</p><p>&#8220;This was the chance to build him again with a much bigger UK audience. I  doubt whether he will even get 5,000 buys on Primetime, which has no  marketing budget at all for the event.&#8221;</p><p><a

On Saturday the 16th, WBA light-welterweight champion <strong>Amir Khan</strong> takes on European light-welterweight title-holder <strong>Paul McCloskey</strong> at Manchester&#8217;s MEN Arena. The next day Real Madrid take on Barcelona at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in one of the biggest matches in club football. <strong>Tickets are available for both events</strong>.</p><p>Amir Kahn has not enjoyed the success that many thought he would after turning pro in 2005, but his popularity is undeniable. McCloskey may not be a huge name, but he will prove a stern test for Kahn, who will want to put on a show for his growing number of supporters.</p><p>Kahn has parted company with conditioning coach, Alex Ariza, the man credited for much of his recent success. However, he does not think this will affect the McCloskey bout. Kahn is the overwhelming favourite, but the tricky Irishman is more than capable and may just spring a surprise in what is expected to be an exciting fight.</p><p>With the exception of the Champions League final, <strong>El  Clasico</strong> is perhaps the biggest club game in the world. It also rarely disappoints. The reverse fixture earlier in the season resulted in a 5-0 thrashing for <strong>Real Madrid</strong>, including David Villa bagging two goals for <strong>Barcelona</strong>, inflicting a first defeat for Jose Mourinho since he took over at Real.</p><p>Mourinho will be eager to get revenge, especially at a time when Barcelona look a little less invincible after their Champions League loss to Arsenal and a lumbering, albeit victorious, performance at home to Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona still lead Real by five points in La Liga, so a win for Mourinho&#8217;s expensively assembled side will be vital in keeping the title race open.</p><p>Tickets are available for both events now.</p><p><a

href="/amir-khan-tickets/">Amir Khan</a> will defend his WBA world light-welterweight title against Dimitry Salita on December 5.</p><p>The bout will be Khan’s first fight since he won the title with a unanimous decision against Andreas Kotelnik at the MEN Arena, Manchester in July.</p><p>The former Olympic silver medallist will be taking on the Ukrainian boxer at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle and would be well-advised not to take the bout lightly.</p><p>Salita has an unblemished record with 30 victories in as many fights in his professional career with 16 knockouts. Although he may not have a particularly high profile in the wider boxing community he will be keen to upset the odds by handing the Bolton man the second defeat of his career.</p><p>Khan is unlikely to be complacent though after he was taught a salutary lesson by Breidis Prescott in June last year. The heavy-hitting Colombian was seen as Khan’s first real test since joining the professional ranks amid criticism that his promoter Frank Warren had been hand-feeding his charge sub-standard opposition.</p><div
style="float:left;margin-right:5px;"><script src="http://cdn.pis.picapp.com/IamProd/PicAppPIS/JavaScript/PisV4.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>After just 54 seconds Khan had been knocked out, dismantled by his more experienced opponent. A glass jaw and lack of defensive nous was cited as the reason for his spectacular defeat and legendary trainer Freddie Roach was brought in to rescue the young pugilist’s career.</p><p>Khan has responded well to Roach’s teachings and certainly looks a more rounded boxer than the one that entered the ring against Prescott.</p><p>Whatever happens, it will be a fight not to be missed.</p><p>Amir Khan tickets are available to compare and but online now.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.tixdaq.com/news/2009/11/17/amir-khan-ready-for-his-first-title-defence/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <enclosure
