Khan-Vargas ready for battle

Quotes from today’s press conference at the Hyatt Regency Birmingham ahead of Amir Khan vs. Samuel Vargas at Arena Birmingham on Saturday, live on Sky Sports in the UK and streamed live on the DAZN Facebook and Twitter pages in the US.

Amir Khan: “I know I’ve got everything it takes to win this fight. I’m not seeing Vargas as another Lo Greco. They might be from the same country but that doesn’t mean anything. I’ve trained like this is a World title fight because I know where this can take me.”Samuel Vargas: “There’s no doubt in my mind that I will be victorious on Saturday night. I don’t care how I do it. I don’t care if it’s by knockout or if it goes the distance or if I break his ribs. I don’t care how it is, in my heart I think it, I dream it, I pray about it and I’ll win. I think Amir is an old man and he’s over the hill. I think he’s been damaged a lot and I know in my hear that when he goes to sleep he knows that if I touch him, he’s going to get hurt. If I clip him with something he will get hurt.”
