AMIR Khan's opponent for the next examination in his intense boxing education will be named this week.

The 19-year-old Olympic silver medallist is heading for the Glasgow's Braehead Arena to fight on the undercard of Scott Harrison's WBO world featherweight title defence against Joan Guzman of the Dominican Republic.

But all eyes will again be on Khan who readily acknowledged he learned lessons from the three-round demolition of trainee teacher Jackson Williams at London's ExCel Arena on Saturday night.

The Bolton teenager gave himself seven marks out of 10 for his performance but promoter Frank Warren said: 'We'll let him have eight.'

Khan, lightweight runner-up at the 2004 Athens Olympics, said: 'It's only eight months that I've been a professional, it's gone well and it's gone quickly.

'I've boxed six times, six wins and I'm learning. Every fight I'm getting better and I'm adapting quickly as well.'

Composed

Williams, 24, from Norwich, was his best opponent so far, with 12 victories from 15 fights, but he could not stay with the composed, ultra-focused Khan whose speed and power floored him three times.

The knockdown which pleased Khan most was the body punch he has added to his armoury under the tuition of trainer Oliver Harrison.

'We've been really working on it in the gym and Oliver told me to let the body shots go because he would have his guard up high and that's what I did. It was one of the first body shots I've thrown and someone's dropped.'

Warren was particularly pleased to see his young protege not boxing with his hands down so much.

'I thought Amir boxed really well. He was a different type of opponent, a guy who stood off him rather than most of the people who have come to fight him who have walked forward.

'What I was pleased to see was that Amir was holding his hands high, picking his shots and eventually he broke down Jackson Williams' style.'

Khan explained: 'It was good. I was expecting him to come forward but it was different, I had to go to him. When you fight a better opponent your hands go up automatically and they were higher than normal .

'He was tough. I was hitting him with some good shots and he put his head down and we had to change a few things. Oliver said in the corner that I had to aim a bit lower and work off the jab and that's what I did.'

What did you make of the fight? Have your say.
