British-Pakistani boxer Amir Khan is all set to face Colombia’s Samuel Vargas today (Saturday) as he continues his quest to earn a tilt at winning the welterweight world title.

The 31-year-old will be back in action after outperforming Phil Lo Greco in April this year in Liverpool. The fight lasted only 39 seconds.

The fight against Lo Greco was Khan’s first fight in nearly two years since his injury.

The 31-year-old will meet Vargas in Birmingham hoping a convincing display will get him a world title fight before the end of the year.

The former unified light-welterweight world champion said, "I’ve trained in LA for 10 weeks; it was a tough schedule and did a lot of running, swimming and boxing. Inshallah, I will be ready."

He added, "The fight against Vargas will be tough but I’ve prayers and support from everyone. I know I’ve trained very hard for this fight so nothing can go wrong and I really believe that I will win in style."
