WBA super lightweight champion Amir Khan said today that he expects to return to the ring in the UK in December. “I’m looking at Juan Manuel Marquez, Marcos Rene Maidana or Victor Ortiz in December,” he told BBC Radio Manchester. “I always promised the fans that I’m going to bring big fights to England and that’s what I’m hoping for.” Khan also stated that Ricky Hatton is on his radar. “I’m not sure if Ricky has retired but if the fight did happen it would be huge,” Khan said.
