Bunce: IBF shot a possibility for Khan

Setanta's boxing pundit Steve Bunce believes that Amir Khan may be in line to fight for the vacant IBF lightweight title, if the governing body chooses to strip current champion Nate Campbell. Campbell is defending against former WBO super featherweight champion Joan Guzman on September 13, but only the WBA and WBO are on the line, suggesting that the IBF may be set to relieve him of his championship. As Bunce explained on his Boxing Hour on Setanta Sports News: "There's a chance, the IBF title could fall vacant. The IBF have the number one and two contender as 'situation vacant'. "He's quite a lethal opponent as he's the one every single fighter is trying to get his fighter in with. "Amir Khan is ranked ten by the IBF but some of the fighters have between three and nine have fights coming up so, in theory, there could be a title fight out there for him. "Six of the top lightweights are fighting each other within a few days of each other. "Juan Diaz is fighting Michael Katsidis, the battler from Australia. Joel Casamayor is fighting Juan Manuel Marquez, who is following Pac Man up to the lightweight division, and of course, Campbell and Guzman. "So it could happen."
