BRADLEY WATSON is fighting Amir Khan's brother this weekend as he dreams of turning professional.
Khan won the lightweight silver at the Olympics in Athens in 2004 and, next weekend, he has a world title shot as he takes on WBA light-welterweight champion Andreas Kotelnik.
His younger brother, Haroon, is also a talented boxer having won this year's Junior ABAs and is being tipped for gold in the London Olympics in three years' time.
He faces Watson (pictured) in a show put on by Amir's old coach, Mick Jelly, in Manchester tomorrow afternoon.
Amir is expected to watch the fight with the rest of the Khan family.
Local 18-year-old flyweight Watson, who goes by the name of 'The Glamour Boy', believes he will come out on top.
'I'm not bothered a bit about him,' he said. 'I know if I box my best I can box with anyone in the country and beat them.'
