Amir Khan is getting ready for his comeback fight on April 21st at The Echo Arena in Liverpool.
The ball got rolling when Khan and his future opponent Phil Lo Greco had a brief brawl recently at a press conference after the Canadian made comments about Khan’s wife and the Anthony Joshua social media incident.

The talk has quieted down for a moment as both fighters have started their training and preparation for the fight according to their social media.
As mentioned before, Khan will train in the US for his comeback against Lo Greco under the tutelage of notable boxing coach Virgil Hunter who has coached the likes of Andre Ward and Andre Berto.
Lo Greco has also posted a couple updates from his training camp.

The trash talk will most likely resume come fight week. After the infamous press conference a confident Lo Greco spoke his mind about Khan.
“He’s not thick skinned. He’s mentally weak. Let’s be honest together, what happens to a fighter after he tries to pursue his career and he’s been severely knocked out multiple times? What happens, does it get better or worse? He’s run out of lives,” said Lo Greco to Boxing Social.
Khan wants to prove all his doubters wrong and he has plans to showcase the best version of himself to date on April 21st.
“Honestly, I feel better now at 31 than when I was 28. With all that’s happened in my life, it’s only made me a better fighter, a stronger fighter and a more focused fighter because I know that millions of people want to see me fail but I’m not gonna, I’m gonna succeed and I’m gonna keep on succeeding.
“This is a big fight for me after two years. It is going to be a hard fight for me. It’s going to be a tough fight for me but it’s how I win this fight is what I want to show people. Amir Khan is not as good as he used to be, he’s better than he used to be,” Khan promised.
