Judah knows he can't beat me - Khan

Amir Khan will ignore all Zab Judah's boasts this week because he believes his opponent is running scared.

Khan puts his WBA light-welterweight title on the line on Saturday night, when the pair go head-to-head in a unification bout in Las Vegas.

Judah, the IBF champion, has promised to be Khan's "worst nightmare", but the WBA champion is refusing to enter into the war of words, claiming Judah is over-compensating because he knows he can't win.

"A lot of fighters start talking when they know they can't win," Khan said. "Judah will be making a lot of noises but it will all go over my head.

"My job is to beat him, Judah doesn't know what's coming and doesn't like it."
