Khan's American business partner, Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions, said afterwards: "I think Khan is probably going to be fighting 31 July in the UK. That's just before [Marcos] Maidana [whom Khan has been accused of ducking] fights.

"After that, he'll come back to the States, but we'll have to discuss opponents. Another one of our fighters had a big victory in England tonight – Katsidis, who took care of Mitchell. Katsidis is always an exciting fighter, who can really rock the house."

In my opinion this is a great fight and a big risk for Khan to take. Katsidis easily has the power to hurt Khan, and while he isn't very tall, he looked huge and Tyson-esque against Mitchell. This would be a dangerous fight for Khan to take on, before going back to the states to fight Maidana or Bradley, and one in which he has every chance of losing. However, his slick and quick, jab centered style is probably the exact medicine to counter the all out brawler approach of Katsidis.

An excellent fight in my opinion. Especially as July is only two months away. What do you think?

Wait.... What happened to Maidana?

for July as a tune up would be great.

Ill take a KAtsidis fight over Malignaggi every day. Atleast Katsidis has a way to win.

Paulie is a good boxer but carries 0 punching power.

****ing dangerous fight for khan

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

He never says anything about Khan vs. Katsidis. The quote is bunched together. He was just making a point about another Golden Boy fighter getting a big win.

There's no way he will fight Maidana, Bradley, Alexander in his next fight. July 31 is only about 2 months away, do you seriously think he has enough time to prepare for those guys and make a fight happen with them in 2 months?

Someone like Katsidis or Prescott or maybe even someone like Murray would be a good opponent for July and then after that he should take on Maidana or Bradley late this year.
