Official: Khan fires Roach.

First topic message reminder :

Amir Khan annouced on his twitter page last night that he has official parted company with Freddie Roach, quoted as saying:

"Officially iv left freddie roach. Just spoke to his and had a good professional chat and maybe in the future we work together. Freddie understood why I'm looking at other trainers and wished me all the best for the future. Who do. My followers think I should go with?"


Roach told ESPN: 'He said, 'I know you're busy with your other fighters and I'm going to go in a different direction'. 'He said, 'No hard feelings, maybe we'll get back together someday'. He was being nice. I wished him luck. I've been fired before.'


So the annoucment of his new trainer will be today, I personally would like to see him go to Steward however if he wants to be number one it is unlikely he'll go to the guy training the number one heavyweight in the world at the moment. Also wonder how long it is before Freddie is calling for a fight between Amir and Manny now.

That's an understatement. It would virtually finish him. He'd have to do the unthinkable and come back to the UK for a fight with Brook or Hatton.
