Dereck Chisora feels Amir Khan should stop complaining about his loss to Lamont Peterson, because boxing is "the dodgiest sport in the world".

Khan lost his WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles to Peterson in Washington last month, and is appealing the result. The Brit is concerned by the referee's performance, and the presence of the infamous 'mystery man' next to the ringside supervisor during the bout.

Khan is expected to be given a rematch - and British heavyweight Chisora, who faces WBC champion Vitali Klitschko in February, feels he should be getting ready for that, rather than bemoaning the sense of injustice he feels.

Chisora was on the wrong end of a contentious points decision against Robert Helenius late last year in Helenius' native Finland. "Loads of fighters get robbed but it's how you come back - that's the most important thing," he said in the Sun.

"So Amir Khan needs to shut up, put his gloves on, train hard and then go and knock that guy out in less than four rounds. I know I'm in the most dodgy, corruptest [sic] sport in the whole world. So if the decision goes the wrong way, just take it and jog on."
