Khan, who turns 18 next week, outlined his plans after an impressive victory over double American champion Michael Evans in his first bout since winning a silver medal at the Olympics.

"There was a brilliant response from the crowd and that gives me more conviction to stay amateur," the lightweight said.

"My immediate plans are to go to the world championships next year and win a gold for Britain. After that, we will see what happens."

Khan's life has been transformed since the Olympics and he revealed that he had only started training for Friday night's Britain-USA match two weeks ago.

But after totally out-boxing the experienced Evans to win 35-13 on points over four rounds, Khan said: "It felt good -- it has been a long time since I last boxed and all my supporters were here.

"I have been so busy that I only restarted training in the last two weeks and I felt tired at the end.

"But my supporters pushed me on and so did being captain of the senior team which was great because I am the youngest boxer here."

Evans, ten years older than the Briton, said the excitement generated by the teenager was not unwarranted.

"Amir is good. He's fast and he's a very good boxer."

Khan admitted he had been nervous about the prospect of making his comeback in front of live television.

"I felt more nervous boxing in this competition than I did in the Olympics," he said."
