Amir Khan could face his toughest test as a professional this weekend as he takes on Zab Judah in a unification bout in Las Vegas but the bookies are confident the man from Bolton will have too much for his 33-year-old opponent. Khan has been rebuilding his career since his one loss to Breidis Prescott a few years back and after claiming the World title against Andreas Kotelnik in 2009 he has gone from strength to strength under the tutelage of Freddie Roach. Khan moved to America after his one defeat to join the Wild Card Gym and Freddie Roach and that has proven to be a great decision, his speed and power has improved beyond recognition and that should prove too much for Judah this weekend.

Khan is coming off of a succession of good wins over the past few years and goes into the Zab Judah fight as the odds on favourite to take the win, Khan can be backed at 1/5 with Betfred to claim the win by any method at the Mandalay Bay. Judah is an experienced campaigner and a multiple World Champion so he will be no pushover but the speed of Khan is likely to prove too much, Khan can be backed to win the fight by KO or DQ at a price of 4/5 with Betfred.com and that could prove a nice bet on Saturday.

Zab Judah is the current IBF Light-Welterweight Champion so is clearly a top class fighter and Betfred have taken note of that making him a 7/2 chance to claim the win by any method against Khan. The New York fighter has been in with the best during his career so will not be overwhelmed on the big stage but it has to be said that he has come up short on a number of occasions when in with the very best. Khan will be aware of that and his youth and speed should prove too much for the experienced Judah in what is a massive fight for the Brit and his future career. A good win for Khan on Saturday will see him become the unified Champion at 140lbs and set up a possible mega fight against the winner of the Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz bout in September.
