Boxing Betting - Salita Confident Of Size Advantage

Dmitriy Salita has claimed his size advantage will be a big hurdle for Amir Khan to overcome when the two face each other tomorrow (December 5th).

Ukrainian-born Salita, who resides in New York, stated that Khan is yet to fight a true junior welterweight, despite being the current WBA champion in the division.

"I've been a junior-welterwight since I was 17 years old and I just feel over the last few months I've matured into my manpower physically and mentally and Saturday night we'll see that," he remarked.

According to the 27-year-old, he had been supposed to fight previous title-holder Andriy Kotelnik on a number of occasions before Khan won the belt and now feels that he is the champion in waiting.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of the bout, he added that he has been training hard for the last 12 weeks in isolation for the match-up.

Despite Salita's confidence, he remains a 9/2 underdog with many bookmakers, including Stan James and 888Sport(Go to 888sport »).

Those looking to bet on Bolton boxer Khan can find him with Victor Chandler(Go to VCBet ») at 1/8.
