Canvey boxing coach Terry Dainty is urging Johnny Martin to continue his preparations as normal for tomorrow's proposed showdown with Amir Khan.

Grays-based Martin had been expected to take on the Olympic silver medalist in the quarter finals of the amateur boxing association championships in Yarmouth until Khan withdrew after a row concerning his ticket allocation.

"We don't really know what is happening at the moment, we're still up in the air waiting for a definite decision," he said.

"I've told Johnny to carry on as if the fight is still going ahead and that he will be going up there for the weigh in at 6.30pm."
