Virgil Hunter believes that Amir Khan needs to approach his fights in a more controlled fashion.

Khan appointed Hunter as his new coach after he parted ways with Freddie Roach and Hunter has admitted that he believes that the Bolton fighter sometimes gets a "little ahead of himself".

Hunter said: "He has to temper his approach.

"He's a little ahead of himself and he has to learn how to harness his speed."

Khan fights Carlos Molina on December 8, hoping to avenge his fourth-round defeat to Danny Garcia in July.
