Amir Khan hot favourite to defend his title in style in Las Vegas on Saturday night
Amir Khan tops the bill in Las Vegas for the first time on Saturday and will not just be looking to keep hold of his title but do so in emphatic style to help build his name in the US. Paddy Power quote Kahn as the clear 1/3 odds on favourite for the fight and King Khan is also odds on at 5/6 to win by knock out.
The fight is just 2/5 to not go the full distance with Kahn likely to come out with all guns blazing in a bid to attract fans on the other side of the Atlantic. The most likely rounds for a win are three to seven which are all 16/1 with Paddy Power. His opponent can’t be underestimated though and will provide a stern test, Maidana is 9/4 to take the fight and 13/5 to do so by knock out.
In an action packed boxing weekend another former Olympic star heads back to the ring as James DeGale takes on Paul Smith. DeGale is heavy favourite for the fight at 1/6 with Paddy Power.
Roberto Coladangelo spokesman for Paddy Power told Bettingpro:
“Boxing fans are in for a treat this weekend with so many fights to choose from. The pick of the bunch is undoubtedly Khan’s defence in Las Vegas where his promoters Golden Boy Promotions will be doing all they can to drum up support for Amir. It will be a tough test but Khan is the clear favourite to win the fight and take another step up the boxing ladder.”
