Amir Khan believes that the home soil advantage will give the boxers in Team GB the best chance of winning medals at the Olympics.

Amir Khan has claimed that competing on home soil will give the boxers in Team GB the best chance of winning medals at this summer's Olympics.

The British fighter won a silver medal eight years ago in Athens at the age of 17 and is confident that the current crop of competitors can follow in his footsteps.

Khan told Sky Sports News: "Having the Olympics in your own country is great motivation. On top of that you're going to have home support.

"That support makes a massive difference and I think we will bring a lot of medals home.

"We have Anthony Ogogo and Luke Campbell, they're a similar age as me but I think they've got a great chance of winning medals. The whole team is looking really strong. I've been watching videos of them train and I think they're in great shape."

Team GB have selected a total of 10 boxers for the Games.
