Amir Khan 11/4 to win by a knockout
Tomorrow sees Amir Khan make his first defence of his WBA light welterweight title against the undefeated, New York-based, Ukranian born boxer Dmitry Salita, live on Sky Box Office from 8:00pm.
Khan, who successfully won his title from Andreas Kotelnik in July this year, is 1/6 to defend his title (4/1 Salita). Many people still think that Khan still has something to prove following his crushing loss inside 60 seconds to Breidis Prescott. It's 4/7 that the Bolton man wins inside the distance and 11/4 he wins by a knockout.
Khan makes his first defence of the WBA light-welterweight title on Saturday night.
Salita, who is unbeaten in his 31 fights since he turned professional in 2001, is 150/1 to repeat the feat of Prescott and knock Khan out in the first 60 seconds of the fight and it's 8/1 he wins inside the 12-round distance. The American, who has won 16 of his 30 victories (1 draw) so far by knockout, is 12/1 to win by a knockout tomorrow and it's 14/1 for the fight to go the distance and Salita wins by a points decision.
It's 2/5 for the fight not to go the distance and 10/1 for Khan to be sent crashing to the canvas but get up to win the fight.
Sky Bet's Tim Reynolds said: "Khan produced a punch-perfect performance to claim the WBA title but faces a much tougher challenge tomorrow against the unbeaten American. Salita has been very well supported and his pre-fight odds have been cut from 9/2 into 4/1 but we would expect the Khan followers to come for the 2004 Olympic Silver Medallist on the night."

Poulter 6/1 for Chevron World Challenge
Ian Poulter is 6/1 third favourite with Sky Bet for the Tiger-less Chevron World Challenge in California following the opening round.
A double bogey at the last hole left Poulter in a share of the lead with Zach Johnson and it's Johnson who heads the betting at 9/2.
Poulter lead the 18-man field for most of his round, only to miss the fairway off the 18th tee on the way to a double bogey which left him with a four-under 68, tied with American former Masters champion Johnson.
Ireland's Padraig Harrington (5/1), the winner here in 2002, finished in third place following a 69, with Jim Furyk, (15/2) US PGA champion YE Yang (20/1) and Open champion Stewart Cink (14/1) a shot behind having each carded 70s.

Captain 20/1 unchanged for Arkle bid
Captain Cee Bee remains a 20/1 chance with Sky Bet for the Arkle Chase after he made a winning chase debut at Naas on Thursday.
Eddie Harty's 2008 Supreme Novices' winner made light of a near two-year absence and weakness in the market to seal victory over Zaarito with a fine leap at the last.
Matt Doyle of Sky Bet said: "It was a relief to see all the old ability was there on his return from injury, but the Arkle is shaping up into one of the hottest renewals in years and we have left his price unchanged."

11/2 Man City's winless run to extend to next four matches
Manchester City boss Mark Hughes will be hoping his side's impressive 3-0 win over Arsenal in the Carling Cup in midweek can inspire them to victory over Chelsea this weekend and Sky Bet go 3/1 that the Citizens, who have drawn their last seven Premier League matches, pick up their next three points against the West Londoners. Another stalemate may be backed at 5/2, while table-topping Chelsea are 10/11 favourites to win. It's 11/2 that City fail to win any of their next four league matches.
Sky Bet's football betting spokeswoman Helen Jacob said: "Manchester City have gone almost unbacked in the match betting, with their odds drifting from 5/2 to 3/1. 75% stakes have been placed on the seemingly unstoppable Chelsea, with the rest going on an eighth successive stalemate!"
Only Manchester City, Chelsea and Manchester United remain unbeaten at home in the league this season and Sky Bet go 4/1 that Eastlands remains a fortress longest. Manchester United are 13/8 to have the longest unbeaten home record this season, while runaway league leaders Chelsea are 5/6 favourites and can also be backed at 7/4 not to be beaten at the Bridge all season.
Chelsea hold a five-point lead at the top of the table and Sky Bet make the Blues 4/1 to finish clear of the rest by four to six points. It's 4/1 that Carlo Ancelotti's side finish the season 10 points ahead of the runners-up.
