Speaking on Amir Khan, Golden Boy Promotions' CEO, Richard Schaefer
stated to Maxboxing on Tuesday afternoon, “He's definitely going to be coming
back on April the 20th; that's confirmed. The question is going to
be if his fight’s going to be from the U.S. or the U.K. He would like to do it
from the U.K. and that is a possibility. I will be discussing with Stephen
Espinoza some of the names if the fight happens to be in the U.K. The situation
is, his first choice would be Danny Garcia to get the rematch but we all know
that Danny's going to be fighting [on February 9th] and that's not
going to work from a timing point of view. So that fight couldn't happen for
April.”
Then there are other
personal matters that will affect Khan’s professional plans, according to
Schaefer.
“Amir can't fight later in
April because he's going to get married in May and then it's going to be
Ramadan, so he's planning on fighting twice this year, April 20th and then a November/December time-frame.”
