Colombian lightweight Breidis Prescott insists he has the tools to shock Amir Khan when the two clash live on Sky Box Office on Saturday night.

Prescott comes into the contest at the MEN Arena as a big underdog - Sky Bet make him a 9/1 shot to upset the Olympic silver medalist - but he is unfazed by the oddsmakers' views.

The Colombian comes into the fight with a perfect 19-0 record with 17 knockouts, and reckons he has spotted some weaknesses in the Bolton fighter's armoury.

"I think at times when he is ahead in fights his punches become wide," Prescott told Sky Sports News.

"I am confident I can take advantage of that. I am here to make the most of my opportunity. It is one every fighter dreams of. I am going to take full advantage of it and surspise a lot of people."

Prescott arrived in Manchester on Sunday and is already back in the gym ahead of Saturday's showdown.
