MICHAEL Gomez has vowed to drag Amir Khan out of his comfort zone when he provides the Bolton youngster's 18th professional test at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham on June 21.

The Manchester veteran is relishing his unlikely chance to return to the big stage at the age of 30 after suffering a number of painful defeats which threatened to bring an end to his unpredictable career.

But Gomez, whose rise from inauspicious beginnings to become British super-featherweight champion has been well documented, has defied the odds many times and vowed to claim his greatest victory next month.

Gomez said: "I save my best for the big occasion. I went to Scotland to fight Alex Arthur, who had a virtually identical record to Amir, and I blew him away in the fifth round. I'm going to do the same thing to Khan."
