Amir Khan to face Hungarian Laszlo Komjathi
Amir Khan has a bout lined up with former European lightweight title challenger Laszlo Komjathi, from Hungary, as his seventh professional fight.
Amir Khan, who won silver in the 2004 Olympics, will be fighting the 30-year-old Hungarian boxer at Belfast's King's Hall on 20 May.
"Komjathi is a test for me and it's at the right time," said Amir Khan.
"He's had a lot more experience at championship level than the other boxers I've fought," Amir Khan added.
Laszlo Komjathi, who has been victorious in 24 of his 35 professional fights, took Italian Stefano Zoff all the way in a European lightweight title fight two years ago but more recently he was stopped in the 10th round by Giuseppe Lauri.
Amir Khan, who is unbeaten in six professional fights and has five knockouts to his impressive credit, said: "Komjathi has fought some good solid names like Lauri and Zoff and, early in his career, Corley.
"I've watched some videos of him and he's a strong, powerful, boxer with an attacking style so I know that I won't have to go looking for him.
"I'll be looking to bring him onto my punches and know that I've got the power to knock him out."
And Amir Khan's promoter Frank Warren added: "Komjathi has been in with some good fighters who have gone on to become world champions or high-level operators at world level.
"This will represent another step up for Amir in his ring education."
