This artice is off the Sky sports website, they sound cool with the fight happening and say its a up to HBO whether it goes forward or not...
Amir Khan is likely to fight European champion Paul McCloskey on his
homecoming on April 16 - providing it is approved by the television networks.
Several opponents were in the running to tackle the WBA light-welterweight champion on his return to the MEN Arena in Manchester.
However, it appears that some - including Lamont Peterson - have priced themselves out of the equation, leaving the unbeaten McCloskey top of the pile.
But while the former British champion from Northern Ireland is known to Sky Sports viewers, it is questionable whether the American network HBO will be able to market what would be Khan's fourth defence.
The Bolton bomber is lined up to take on the winner of Tim Bradley v Devon Alexander later this year in a unification fight, but needs to keep busy in the meantime.
He impressed critics on both sides of the atlantic with a dramatic points victory over the hard-hitting Marcos Maidana last month.
American Victor Ortiz remains a possible challenger, as is lightweight Michael Katsidis, who recently lost to Juan Manuel Marquez
