The 140 King is Back On SKY!

Amir Khan will defend his WBA and IBF Light-Welterweight world titles against Lamont Peterson, live on Sky Sports on December 10th. Khan, will fight on Sky for the first time since he defeated Marcos Maidana in his Las Vegas debut in December last year in a clash that many in boxing called the fight of the year. Live coverage of the Peterson showdown, from National Convention Center in Washington DC, will be the first of three fights featuring Khan to be shown as part of a new deal. It will round off a sensational night of boxing on Sky Sports, that kicks off with Wladimir Klitschko defending his unified heavyweight world titles against Jean-Marc Mormeck in Dusseldorf, Germany. The week before Sky Sports will show live coverage of Martin Murray's contest for the WBA Middleweight title against Felix Sturm in Mannheim, Germany, and Carl Froch's Super Six final showdown with unbeaten Andre Ward in Atlantic City, where the WBC and WBA Super-Middleweight titles will be on the line. That means three world title fights in as many weeks and Khan is delighted to be part of a bumper month of boxing. "I'm delighted to be on Sky Sports," he said. "They are dedicated to broadcasting the biggest fights, so I'm excited about working together again. "Fighting in America can make it difficult for my British fans to see me live in action, but being on Sky Sports means they can cheer me on and enjoy the fight as it happens from home. "I'm training harder than ever for this fight and I guarantee the fans won't want to miss it!" Barney Francis Managing Director of Sky Sports said: "This is great news for Sky subscribers. "We're pleased to welcome Amir back, and delighted to be showing his next three fights on Sky Sports. "Khan v Peterson follows a great autumn of boxing on Sky Sports and this fight will be part of a great month of boxing that includes four world title fights and some of the biggest names in British and world boxing." http://www1.skysports.com/boxing/news/12183/7302525/Khan-back-on-Sky- Kell We Comin' For Ya Sucka!
