Oisin Fagan has vowed to get "stuck in" against Amir Khan as the pair prepare to fight at London's Excel Arena on Saturday.

The Dublin-born lightweight, nicknamed Gael Force, will take on Khan in what represents a comeback bout for the 21-year-old after his shock first-round knockout defeat against Breidis Prescott in September.

Khan was found wanting at a higher level in that, his first loss, and Fagan has no intention of going easy on the Bolton fighter on his return to the ring.

"I'm gonna get stuck in and that's all I can do," he told Sky Sports News. "That's my game. If he's good enough to keep me away from my game he'll most likely box the ears off me but I'm well up for it.

"I know it's a massive opportunity for me and he's a rich man. He's a millionaire and even if I had a third of that money, or a quarter of that money, I'd be doing some good stuff with it.

"It's a chance for me to make a better life for myself."

See if Fagan can improve on his record of 22 wins, 13 coming by way of knockout, and five defeats live on Sky Box Office on Saturday night.
