Possible Khan-Peterson on Dec 10

WBA and IBF junior welterweight beltholder Amir Khan could make the first defense of his IBF belt against mandatory challenger Lamont Peterson, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer told RingTV.com.

Khan has also expressed interest in facing the winner of a clash between three-division titleholder Erik Morales (51-7, 35 KOs) and Lucas Matthysse (28-2, 26 KOs), who will meet for the WBC's vacant junior welterweight belt on Sept. 17.

"We are looking at different options for Amir Khan," said Schaefer. "But it seems like the one that we seem to be focusing in on is to do his mandatory against Lamont Peterson on Dec. 10."

In February, Peterson passed up a chance to face Khan when talks broke down between Schaefer and Peterson's attorney, Jeff Fried, for an April challenge to Khan's WBA belt over money and a rematch clause.

Fine with it although Matthysse would be a much more intriguing and entertaining fight to make.

Will this be a B.A.D card?

Have a feeling it'll be a one and done. HBO's budget is tight at the moment.

I want Khan vs Matthysse! best fight available since Amir wont fight Maidana and Bradley wont fight Khan.
