As Andriy Kotlenik man Khan defeat to win the world crown in July, is a Ukrainian Salita. His family moved from Odessa to Brooklyn where Salita was nine to escape the escalating violence against the Jews. He started boxing at age thirteen, training to the city boxing club Starrett, frequented by Zab Judah, among others. He compiled a record of 59-5 amateur career, culminating in winning the class at 139 pounds Golden Gloves in New York in 2001. He turned professional later this year, and is managed by Bob Arum.
Salita fought exclusively in the U.S., and is undefeated in thirty-one battle (16ko's, one draw). However, since turning pro Salita record compiled more like un''qui is it? `` That''`` Who's Who of boxing. The WBA are a notoriously political organization, and one wonders if the high position in the ranking Salita is down largely to Bob Arum.

Le''tas often refers to `` Salita was a knockdown against Willie Limond each and Michael Gomez, the two par punchers. "He certainly has a seed of doubt because of the defeat of Prescott," Salita continued.
"The move to Freddie (Freddie Roach, trainer Khan) was a wise choice and helped him win the belt but I'm going there to do my job and eventually he will get hit on the chin ".
Salita is an aggressive boxer puncher, who lack real power to direct elimination. He likes to come together and mix. And it sounds tailored for the young Amir.
