Amir Khan has been postulated a rematch with Lamont Peterson by a World Boxing Association, according to his promoter.

Richard Schaefer, arch executive of Golden Boy Promotions, reported overnight that a ruling physique have told him of their “official decision” to sequence a rematch following a argumentative hitch final month.

Khan mislaid both his WBA and IBF titles in a separate preference better in Peterson’s Washington DC hometown on Dec 10.

The Englishman has vociferously complained about a series of issues given then, however, and has lobbied both ruling bodies – and a Washington DC elect – to change a outcome to a no-contest and/or force a dual group to quarrel again.

Schaefer told RingTV they have got their wish.

“I usually received, half an hour ago, a minute from a WBA on their central preference that they are going to sequence an evident rematch,” Schaefer is reported as saying.

“I consider that it’s a right decision, and we wish that we can get a rematch done.”

Schaefer also told espn.com: “I’m anxious that he’s removing (the rematch) and wish we can start a negotiations and get a quarrel done.

“Amir and Lamont are both superb immature group and athletes who fought their hearts out in Washington in Dec and I’m certain this preference will get acclaim by quarrel fans around a world.

“The rematch will be one of a many expected fights of 2012 since both guys are exciting, immature and we consider it’s accurately a kind of quarrel people wish to see.”

Khan’s advisors primarily claimed Peterson’s group willingly concluded to a rematch in a evident issue of a hitch usually to apparently change their minds.

And while a WBA have systematic a second fight, Peterson could still opt to relinquish that pretension rather than give Khan a second possibility – quite if a IBF, during a conference on Jan 18, concede him to keep that belt but fighting Khan again.
