Amir Kahn takes on Andreas Kotelnik for boxing's WBA light-welterweight title on Saturday night - and the bookies have been surprised by the big support for the man from Bolton! 

According to Skybet, 90% of the money they've taken is on Kahn to be Britain's next World Champion. When the fight was first announced both men were priced up at 5/6. But the sheer weight of money coming in on Kahn means he is now as short as 1/3. Champion Kotelnik is available at 2/1. 

The fight is taking place in Manchester at the MEN Arena - the scene of Kahn's one and only professional defeat. He was sparked out inside a round by Breidis Prescott last September. Question marks over his chin still remain but he has improved a lot since hooking up with Hall of Fame trainer Freddie Roach. 

His opponent this weekend is Andres Kotelnik - a tough Champion from the Ukraine, who has never been stopped. He's also no stranger to these shores. Back in March 2008 he won the WBA belt from Gavin Rees in Cardiff.
