Amir Khan to face Phil Lo Greco as he preps for return to ring

Pakistan born British boxer Amir Khan says he is ready to take on Canadian boxer Phil Lo Greco, as he is set to make his way back into the ring on April 21 after nearly two years.

The Canadian boxer called out Amir in a recent presser. Training with his new coach, while speaking to Sky Sports Amir said that he has a 'strong bond' with Joe Goossen ahead of his welterweight fight with Phil Lo Greco.

Talking about his trainer, Khan said that his new trainer is already making an impact and he feels ready to take on Greco.

“Joe’s getting me back in the groove again and helping me set the game plan for this guy Lo Greco and hopefully I’ll put a good job on him. Obviously, I feel bad for Virgil. He’s sick. I had to move quickly but I’m happy Joe came in. It was a crucial time for me because I needed someone to help me,” he said.

Khan had to part ways with Virgil Hunter last month after the trainer experienced health problems.
