NEW YORK — He's a religious Jew from Brooklyn and the only thing unorthodox about him is a mean left jab.

Now boxer Dmitriy “Star of David” Salita, 27, hopes to punch his way to the world junior-welterweight title against reigning champ Amir Khan — a Muslim.

The symbolism will not be lost on fight fans when Salita steps into the ring to face Khan, 22, a Brit of Pakistani descent, in a bout likely to take place in December in London, according to World Boxing Association sources who say the combatants are in advanced negotiations.

It's the first time a Jew and a Muslim have fought for a title, said Brooklyn boxing-gym owner Tommy Gallagher.
