Amir Khan's Mystery Man

[gerrard]

a big mystery has blown up in the world of boxing.

Amir Khan is trying to get a rematch for his bout in which he lost his WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles to Lamont Peterson

he points to vid footage of a mystery man talking to WBA fight supervisor Michael Welsh and he appears to point out something on a scorecard

he wants to know who the dude is and what he was doing at the time of the fight at ringside talking to Welsh which is prohibited during a fight, allegedly he was also observed handling the scorecards

tonight Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, the vice-president of the WBA, said the man was "unknown" to the organisation.

Mendoza confirmed that the WBA were investigating Khan's comments, and insisted the man shown in the images is not known by the governing body.

"I am going over the facts but this man is also unknown to us," he said.


oooohhh spooky or what, noone knows him dun dun daaaa!!!

i think Khan needs to get over he got beat fair & square. He will get the rematch later this year and will probably win.

However, it just looks like he is a bad loser now.

The mystery dude will turn out to be some official having a sneeky look at the scorecard and betting on the outcome of the fight

well you were right CJ the 'Man in the hat' has been named as IBF official Mustafa Ameen

"His name is Mustafa Ameen and the IBF have confirmed to us his name, and that he's involved in an official capacity with the IBF," Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer told Sky Sports News.

Mr Schaefer added: "However, he was not in Washington in an official IBF capacity, but the IBF asked the Washington commission to issue him a credential so that he could attend the fight."

according to Khans people he will get a rematch


*pic & quote sky news
