Katsidis warning for Khan

Katsidis, 29, is confident of securing a fight with WBA super and WBO full champion Marquez in what has been described by his camp as the "pinnacle fight" of his career.

Marquez beat Juan Diaz with a unanimous points win to retain his titles at the end of last month, a bout which was reportedly of interest to Briton Khan.

But Katsidis is adamant he will be Marquez's next opponent, and that Khan can forget about any hopes he harbours of taking on the Mexican star in the near future.

"I have remained available to honour my commitment with the WBO and am very pleased to see why the WBO remains the most prestigious of boxing's organisations," Katsidis said.

"The time has come for me to face the very elite of the sport, giving boxing fans worldwide one of the greatest fights it will ever see, and as such is the reward of my team's effort.

"I see recently Amir Khan was observing closely the Juan Diaz-Juan Manuel Marquez clash. Marquez is mine or else he is another conversation we should continue back in England. I’ve been there before and am happy to do it again."
