Khan will Fight Matthew Hatton before Mayweather at Welterweight

It was thought previously that IBF/WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan would be facing a quality welterweight like number #2 ranked WBO contender Kell Brook in Khan’s warm-up fight at welterweight (147 lbs) before possibly getting a money fight against unbeaten WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. next year.

However, it looks as if Khan is going to safe route by targeting fringe contender Matthew Hatton (42-5-2, 16 KO’s) instead of someone who can punch and has good speed.
