BOXING coach Mick Jelley believes Amir Khan will have learned more from his last fight than all the rest put together.

The Bury Boxing Club trainer, who guided Khan to an Olympic silver medal, was at ringside at London's ExCel Centre to see his young charge notch up his 10th successive win with a comfortable points margin over Rachid Drilzane.

The Bolton boxing sensation stepped up from six to 10 rounds for the first time in his professional career to win the IBF Inter-continental light-welterweight crown.

"It might only be a minor title, but to do it in only his 10th fight was incredible," said Jelley.

"He learned a lot from that fight and needs another like it so he can learn even more. People keep talking about world titles and I am sure he will get there but he needs another 12 months to two years of fights before he reaches that point.

"It was a superb display against a tough kid who never wobbled once. He took a lot and was a game kid. Amir went the distance because he trains for it. He had to hold himself back because it was important he didn't burn himself out."

Drilzsane said he was shocked by how quick Khan had been.

"He was very quick and he surprised me," said the 28-year-old from Marseille, who complained he would have like to have had more than 15 days to prepare for the fight.

"Khan is good but he is not the best I have fought against, but he hurt me in the 10th round with a body punch."

Khan's next fight is expected to be some time in February but he says he is ready to take on whoever his manager Frank Warren matches him with next.
