'Mystery man' will attend official hearing into Khan fight
'Mystery man' Mustafa Ameen has said he will reveal all at the official hearing into the Amir Khan v Lamont Peterson fight before Christmas.
Ameen hit the headlines last week when Khan questioned his ringside presence during the split decision loss in Washington DC that cost him his WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles.
Ameen, whose identity was originally unknown, is said to have ties to the IBF but will not comment on allegations made against him until the hearing on January 18.
However, he insists there has been no wrong-doing and will defend his reputation against those looking to discredit him.
"To be quite honest, there's a formal hearing," he told
boxingscene.com.. "Amir Khan and Golden Boy have requested a hearing to appeal the decision and I am going to participate in the hearing and I'm not going to take the path that others have taken and state my case on the internet and in the media.
"I think it's important to let the facts be known and I don't want anybody crafting a defense based on something that someone wrote on the internet on what I said happened. I will defer any explanation telling them, telling anybody else that's an interested party at the official hearing.
"I've got nothing to hide. I'm not running or ducking or anything. Without talking about the merits of what happened, I will just say that there's a lot of misinformation.
"I've been called a lot of names over the past several days and that attacks my credibility, attacks my reputation that I worked very hard on in all my years in boxing.
"I'll tell you that that part is definitely something I'm going to defend prior to the hearing."
Ameen has been around the fight game for many years and claims to be a close associate of American amateur heavyweight star Michael Hunter.
