Boxing: ‘Khan loss should be made no contest’
WASHINGTON: Golden Boy Promotions has asked boxing commissioners in Washington to turn English fighter Amir Khan’s loss to Lamont Peterson into a no-contest result, reported ESPN. If the District of Columbia Boxing Commission overturns the controversial victory by hometown hero Peterson last December, Khan reclaims the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation world lightweight titles. The move comes after a Khan-Peterson rematch scheduled for next Saturday was called off in the wake of the American failing a drug test last March. Meanwhile, Khan has called Peterson ‘a cheat’ and demanded his titles be returned.
