Khan Tells Zab Judah: Make Sure You Hold Your IBF Title!

By Chris LaBate

WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan (25-1, 17 KOs) has his sights set on Zab Judah's IBF belt. Khan wants to unify the division, belt by belt. He hopes to finalize a deal to face WBC/WBO champion Timothy Bradley (27-0, 11 KOs) on July 23rd. However, recent reports on BoxingScene.com suggest the fight is in jeopardy over money, with Bradley being unhappy with the financial package being offered for the fight.

Khan is already looking at Judah (41-6, 28 KOs). There is still a chance that Judah is going to face Juan Manuel Marquez in July - but it appears that Marquez is seriously considering an offer from Top Rank to face Manny Pacquiao in a trilogy fight in October. Even if Judah-Marquez goes forward, Khan seems to prefer a fight with Judah.

Khan told Judah - "Hear you are fighting Juan Manuel Marquez. [I would] love to fight the winner after I beat Bradley, so make sure you keep hold of your IBF title."
