Amir Khan Pushing For American Debut

By Mark Vester

According to The Mirror, lightweight superstar Amir Khan, and his promoter Frank Warren, are pushing hard for the young superstar to make his American debut on June 28 undercard to David Diaz-Manny Pacquiao at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Warren is attempting to secure permission from UK network ITV because they hold the broadcast rights to Khan's next fight.

Khan doesn't want to wait until the end of his career to come to America.

"I want to come to the States to fight earlier than Joe (Calzaghe) did. USA is where it's at and I plan loads of fights there. I want to make my debut in America sooner rather than later because I know the experience will help me," Khan said.
