'Camp is going great and I'm feeling really good,' said Khan. 'I've exceeded a lot of the targets that I set myself at this stage and am well on course. Virgil Hunter is happy with how things are going, and come May 7, I'm going to be in the best condition, physically and mentally, that I can be.

'I'm getting ready to give the fans a very exciting fight at the T-Mobile Arena,' Khan continued. 'We're working on the perfect game plan for this fight and that is what is going to win it for me. I don't put too much emphasis on one individual thing, whether that's speed or power, it's about having all the boxes ticked going into the fight. 

'I know what Canelo does well, and his key attributes, so we'll be looking to nullify those. I'm going to keep pushing myself hard in training and will be ready to give everything come fight night.' 

Alvarez, meanwhile, who won the WBC middleweight title by defeating Miguel Cotto in November, is determined to keep his crown and said: 'I train hard to fight hard, and I am focused this training camp to be prepared to win on May 7 and maintain my status as the champion.

'Amir Khan is a talented fighter and though I know I will be triumphant as the victor on May 7, I will not underestimate the challenge he poses to me in the ring.'
