AMIR Khan believes his hectic schedule will make him a better boxer.
The Bolton fighter faces Vitali Martynov of Belarus in Nottingham on Saturday and a month later is in action again in London, but the 19-year-old is happy to be kept busy.
Khan said: "I will fight whenever I'm asked.
"It's up to Frank Warren and Oliver Harrison who can see if I'm training hard and fit.
"It's going to make me better if I box regularly against better opponents.
"If I'm just boxing for the payday, it isn't going to make me a good boxer."
The lightweight's rapid rise to fame has brought with it the problems of pressure and adulation, but he insists he is taking it all in his stride.
Khan said: "It's been mad with people asking for photographs and autographs wherever I go but it comes with the package. I can cope with it all right."
Khan will step up to six rounds for the first time on Saturday in the televised event.
