Freddie Roach ,trainer went to Newcastle United's St James Park previously for Saturday fight, he went to work promoting himself and first defence of the World Boxing Association title.

"I'm intent on making a declaration in this fight, said Khan" .I want to bring him to an, but I'm aware I can't pay for any fault. I've taught like a challenger, not the champion for this fight. He also added winning the world title is one type and execution on it for a long time is another matter overall. I don’t want to be one of individual fighters who wins the title which fades away after few days.

Khan, more bald-faced than in the past added: Now I've hit superlative level, I want to beat these people. Not just beat them; I want to hit them out, crush my influence on the part as a world champion.

"When I beat this gentleman – an American – it's going to create a springboard in America. More public will get to know me in America and we'll take it from there. We have a lot of offers and pulling power and we'll take it from there."

The Briton shaped a punch-perfect performance to beat exactly proficient Andreas Kotelnik in July but expects a great challenge against New Yorker Salita, who is unbeaten in 31 matchs.
