Faulks Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Amir Khan is being linked with a world light-welterweight title unification clash with American Timothy Bradley. Bradley, 26, made a fourth defence of his WBO title with a points win over Lamont Peterson last weekend and his promoter Gary Shaw said a fight with WBA champion Khan is a possibility for 2010. Shaw said: "Right after Timothy beat Peterson, I got a call from the head of the WBO. He told me Frank Warren called him and wanted to make a fight between Khan and Bradley. "I think it's a fight that might get done. I have no problem taking Timothy to England to fight Khan in front of 40,000 screaming Brits. "I'm surprised Warren wants that fight!"

Faulks Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Now the kid and warren// cop a load of flak for who he's fought etc but if this fight comes off then he will get massive respect from me...

WelshDevilRob Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'd be shocked if this was going to happen and if it is a reality, then would expect it to be at the end of next year. I see Warren using it as a bargaining chip to keep Amir - I've read that Khan is now a free agent. Trouble is who will Khan fight in the meantime? Maidana next hopefully though I have a dreadful suspicion that Gavin Rees and Kevin Mitchell are on the horizon. The natural way to do Khan vs Bradley would be to have them both fight on the same bill in the US, Warren would keep Khan happy that way as Amir wants to fight in the US (on HBO). Then have the fight in the UK - seems Bradley is happy to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otley Snr Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 dangerous fight for Khan but what fight isn't. Major respect for Khan and Warren if this fight is made. And im quietly confident Bradley's style is made for Khan...time will tell Job Biscuit (Can't wait for 2010)!! eh eh!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mofo2 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I hate Khan as ive said many times but he should be taking a money spinner now for me....he deserves an easy ride! He's won the title...Beat the Mandatory number 1 contender and now deserves an easier fight on paper than he's had in his two previous opponents.!

Faulks Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Paulie on the undercard of the Pac/Pbf fight would be good. Depending which Paulie turns up could be an entertainig fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapevine241 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 i dunno... i think khan-malignaggi could be a real stinker. but it would be a step up for some of the recent PPV undercards lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledhed Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 so many quality options for amir. i don't think he beats bradley but also don't think his rep takes too much of a hit with a loss cuz i think he'd put on a strong showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gemmell100 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 on the "on the ropes" radio show in america khan said he will not fight bradley until the nd of 2010.he needs more experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
