According to Shah Khan, father of WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan, they are looking to fight the winner of the upcoming Juan Manuel Marquez-Juan Diaz rematch on December 11 in England. Khan plans to attend the Marquez-Diaz rematch on July 31 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

There has been some talk about Khan fighting the winner in Las Vegas, but he would really like to bring the fight back to England if possible. Khan made his American debut in May with a stoppage victory over Paulie Malignaggi at the WaMu Theater in New York's Madison Square Garden.

"We are looking at all our options and one thing Amir really wants to do is to come back and fight at home. There is every chance we could be looking at either Marquez or Diaz back here in December," Shah told Sportinglife.
