Amir Khan celebrates beating Samuel Vargas on points after their Welterweight contest at Arena Birmingham, Birmingham

FORMER world champion Amir Khan continued his comeback at the Birmingham Arena on Saturday, with a suspenseful unanimous decision win over Colombian Sam Vargas. 

Things started well for the Bolton man, whose blistering hand speed and combination punching dropped Vargas at the beginning of the second round.

Unfortunately for Khan, he lived up to his fragile reputation and was dropped heavily by a perfect overhand right at the end of the second, being luckily saved by the bell.
