Amir Khan is keeping his options open as he searches for one last opponent before making the step up to welterweight.

First it was Anthony Crolla, then Jorge Barrios, but now it appears that hard-hitter Lucas Matthysse will face Erik Morales on Saturday September 17th at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, on the undercard of the clash between Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz. According to overseas reports, Barrios is having issues with his legal documents to leave the country and won't be able to make the fight with Morales. His countryman, Matthysse, has stepped in to take his place. The vacant WBC 140-pound title will be at stake.
