Dmitriy Salita Vents His Anger On Amir
July 22nd, 2009 - 10:04 pm ICT by GD
Dmitriy Salita, the Ukraine born light welter-weight boxer is the WBA’s number one contender and a mandatory challenger to the newly crowned champion. And within days of boxer Amir Khan’s points win over Andreas Kotelnic, he has already started beckoning for the 22 year old.
According to the sources Salita, who is known by the nickname “the Star of David” seemed quite furious about the fact that the boxer was overlooked for a title challenge. Reports suggest that the boxer repeatedly asked the champion to face him next rather than chase the names that he had mentioned. “I am ready to get Amir Khan in the ring and fight for the WBA title that belongs to me and I should had that years ago,” said the infuriated boxer who seemed to be quite furious about him being overlooked for the title challenge.
“The time for this fight can’t come soon enough. I am going to take that belt. It was very disrespectful for him (Amir Khan) to fight for the title before I did and I am going to take out all of my frustration on him when I get my belt. Amir Khan is just holding on to my championship right now,” told Salita who seemed to be hell bent to snatch away the title from the now champion, Amir Khan.
Salita, who is still unbeaten in 31 fights has repeatedly stated that he can take on Amir at any given place in the world, but he would be happy if the fight takes place in America.
