Khan set to name Rubio
Cuban trainer lined up to work with Commonwealth champion
Last updated: 22nd July 2008
Amir Khan is set to reveal that he will work with Cuban trainer Jorge Rubio as he builds towards a world title shot.
The Bolton lightweight has been talking to a number of trainers in America after splitting from Oliver Harrison earlier this year.
Khan worked with Dean Powell for his latest fight with Michael Gomez but he will now work with the man who trained Mario Kindelan to deny Khan Olympic gold in Athens four years ago.
The Daily Mirror says Rubio and Khan will team up ahead of the Commonwealth champion's next fight at the MEN Arena on September 8, while Khan will be based in Florida ahead of a proposed Stateside debut in December.
Powell is likely to be retained as part of the corner team.
