Newz Forum: OLYMPICS: Khan fights for medal

Amir Khan can guarantee a medal in the lightweight boxing division if he beats South Korean Baik Jong-sub on Tuesday.

The 17-year-old Briton beat European champion Dimitar Stilianov in the second round and will win at least bronze if he wins his quarter-final.

But Khan's camp are still hopeful that he will become the youngest Olympic champion since Floyd Patterson in 1952.

"Just watching Amir train and fight makes me feel 20 years younger," said British boxing coach Terry Edwards.

"He is a breath of fresh air."

Khan opened his Athens tournament with a dazzling display against Greece's Marios Kaperonis.
