According to the Daily Mail, Virgil Hunter has been confirmed as the new trainer of Bolton star Amir Khan.

Hunter, famous for his work with world super-middleweight king Andre Ward, replaces Freddie Roach, who Khan split with following his knockout defeat to Danny Garcia.

Khan has said that the reason for the split was nothing to do with that set back, but because he was unhappy playing second fiddle to Manny Pacquiao in Roach's training plans.

It has also been suggested that Khan will engage in a homecoming fight at the MEN Arena in Manchester this December.
