The Manchester (England) Evening News is reporting that DC junior welterweight Lamont Peterson will challenge for the WBA Junior Welterweight title against champion Amir Khan on April 16 at the M.E.N. Arena in Manchester.
If this comes to fruition, this will be the second world title bout for Peterson (28-1-1, 14 KO's), who lost a tough unanimous decision to WBO champ Timothy Bradley in December of 2009 in Rancho Mirage, CA. Since that bout, Peterson has fought twice scoring a seventh-round TKO over Damian Fuller and fighting Victor Ortiz to a 10-round draw.
Khan (24-1, 17 KO's) will be making the fourth defense of his title that he won at the M.E.N. Arena in July of 2009.
