“I’m a better fighter now.” – says Khan who has been defeated last year in Manchester by Prescott. He mentioned, that this fight let him become a man, and he’s definitely ready now to defend the title against Dmitriy Salita on 5th of December at Metro Radio Arena, Newcastle.

Salita was unbeaten for 31 fights and knocked-out 16 opponents which is pretty impressive. He claimed that he’s not afraid and will make use of the vulnerability that was exposed in 2008 by Prescott. Salita also explained that he admires Khan because of his achievements that he accomplished during his very short career.

Bolton fighter says that he’s not concerned about Salita, as he has “slow, sticky feet”. We will see about that on 5th of December!

Obama shows off in Korea

Barack Obama is well known for his dance skills as well as the basketball thing. Now he had a chance to show the world his more violent part by demonstrating his taekwondo skills after receiving the uniform and a belt fromt he South Korean president Lee Myung-bak.

The president has studied the martial arts for four years between 2001 and 2005 while he was a junior senator in Illinois. Apart from this he and the Korean president took a very firm stance against North Korea to pressure them to fall back in line and return to the nuclear talks.

North Korea is capable of  doing some weird things, first returning to the talks and then getting back to where they were with the nuclear weaponry.
