Manny Pacquiao’s trainer believes no one will be able to stop his new protégé Amir Khan at light-welterweight

He talks in a mumbled rush, with the urgency and gratitude of a sick man anxious to live every minute of every day. And Freddie Roach sees nothing but life-affirming, good times ahead. Before him lies more glory for Manny Pacquiao. He predicts big nights for Amir Khan. And he sees himself in their corner.

His immediate task is to navigate Khan through what could be some rough storms against the tough New Yorker Dmitriy Salita in the first defence of his WBA light-welterweight title in Newcastle tomorrow night. If you trust Roach’s judgment – and few do not – it will be over by the ninth or 10th round, with his young Bolton boxer in centre ring, arms raised and ready to take the next stage of his career across the Atlantic, for bigger nights, more glory and the sort of acceptance, perhaps, that he has not received in the country of his birth.
