Was Khan forced to fight Maidana this Saturday no matter what the outcome is?

Wasn't Maidana pressing for this fight awhile and I believe he was Khan's Mandatory for like the past 2 or 3 fights of Khan if I remember correctly.

Listen if Khan didn't want to fight Maidana, he would have vacated the title, just like Bradley vacated his title to avoid Alexander [Alexander then got the title in a vacant title shot, I think it was the IBF title].

no, maidana forced a purse bid, which in turn promised hmi more money for the fight...

So you knew the answer to your own question

[VatoMulatto]

Khan wants this fight just as much as Maidana (maybe even more). Khan wants to prove that he can deal with a big puncher. I think he's sick and tired of people who think he's trying his best to avoid to step into the ring with someone who can hurt him.

Isnt a fighter entitled to a voluntary defence (Paulie) after a mandatory (Salita)
