Amir Khan has embarked on the toughest training of his career to beat Lamont Peterson in their rematch on May 19. The 25-year-old Briton aims to avenge his controversial loss to the American when they meet in Las Vegas. Peterson will defend the IBF and WBA light-welterweight titles that he took from Khan in Washington last December.

WASHINGTON, DC - WBA/IBF junior welterweight champion Lamont Peterson, and British star Amir Khan, faced off at a press conference in Peterson's backyard at the W Hotel in Washington, DC. Last December, Peterson won a twelve round split decision to capture the titles from Khan. They meet again on May 19th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas.

Perhaps the battle was lost the moment Amir Khan was unable to coax Lamont Peterson into travelling to England for their eventual title clash last year.

Khan on Tuesday vowed to learn from his mistakes when he faces Peterson in their keenly anticipated world title rematch on May 19th at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Khan cried foul after losing a split decision to Peterson in their see-saw battle for the WBA and IBF lightwelterweight titles in Washington in December, insisting he had been the victim of dubious scoring.

By Jake Donovan - The May 19 rematch between Lamont Peterson and Amir Khan is officially underway, as both fighters and members of their camp assembled in London on Tuesday to kick off their three-city press tour. Both fighters agreed to terms last month to settle the score from their 12-round thriller last December, in which Peterson rose from an opening round knockdown to score a split decision over Khan in his Washington D.C. hometown. For his efforts, Peterson scored the biggest win of his career along with a career-high $650,000 payday. He stands to make ‘substantially more’ for the rematch, which airs live on HBO as was the case with the first fight. In agreeing to terms for a second dance with the former pound-for-pound entrant, Peterson gets the chance to prove that last year’s win was no fluke, nor did it require the assistance of outside influences. “I don’t feel disrespected, but… well, I honestly don’t know how I feel about all of it,” Peterson (30-1-1, 15KO) said of the protests filed and remarks made by Khan in the fight’s aftermath. “Regardless of what he say(s), I’m still the champ and got plans on remaining champ come May 19.”

The aftermath of his career-defining win over Amir Khan lasted longer than a month for Lamont Peterson, who was forced to endure sanctioning body protests, hearings and a lot of complaining from Khan and Golden Boy Promotions.
