According to promoter Frank Warren, world lightweight champion Nate Campbell is keen to face the quick fisted Amir Khan in early 2009.
It looks as though, Campbell is set to first defend his title against former WBO super-featherweight king Joan Guzman but Warren spoke to the WBA/IBF and WBO lightweight champ at the Boxing Hall of Fame weekend recently and confirmed they discussed a possible fight with Khan.
"We spoke and he said we would like to make the fight," Warren said. "Let’s take it one fight at a time, and when the Gomez fight is out of the way, we’ll see what happens.
"What I do know is that Campbell’s fight with Joel Casamayor isn’t happening, so there might be an opportunity. What is really important is that Amir focuses on next weekend."
Khan clashes with former British super featherweight champion Michael Gomez in Birmingham this weekend(June 21) in Birmingham.
