The fight which Khan termed as a 'make or break' fight, was desperately needed by British boxer Amir Khan to get back into form and look ahead with a renewed vigour and form.

Amir was defeated by Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia over the last 12 months and had many people questioning Khan's fitness and even future.
