AMIR Khan will use his third professional fight in Glasgow in November as a stepping stone to becoming the youngest world champion since 21-year-old Prince Naseem Hamed beat Steve Robinson in Cardiff a decade ago to become WBO featherweight champion.

The British Olympic silver medalist, with two professional victories behind him, will take on Steve Gethin on the undercard of Scott Harrisonis WBO featherweight title fight against an as yet unnamed opponent on November 5.

And the 18-year-old is looking to take another step towards eclipsing Hamedis record.

He said: "I look to go one better than Naseem. He was 21 when he won a world title and I want to be one of the youngest world champions ever, that's one of my goals.

"But I am in no rush. I want to build it up slowly - British, Commonwealth and European and then the world.

"Frank Warren (Khanis promoter) has said it will be fairly soon, maybe next year. I am fighting every two months which is not bad really. That will be six times per year and in the amateurs sometimes you box six times in a week!

"But Frank Warren knows whatis best for me and he's going to get the fights for me and he will know when I am going to peak for the title fights."

Khan's manager and promoter Warren insists he will have Braehead Arena packed with 6,000 fans for the appearance of Khan and Harrison despite not knowing who the Glaswegianis opponent is as yet.

He said: "We did have an opponent for Scott over the weekend called Spend Abazi and he is ranked by all the organisations but the guy broke his elbow in sparring and is out. But we will come up with a ranked opponent by Thursday.

"I am a very positive person and I know that we will sell out. I wonit even consider that we canit sell it out because we will, I am absolutely confident."
