Warren eyes Khan and Hatton showdown

PROMOTER Frank Warren would be happy to pit Amir Khan against Ricky Hatton providing the youngster wins his maiden world title challenge this weekend.

Khan, 22, bids to win his first world honours when he steps up to light-welterweight to face Ukrainian WBA champion Andreas Kotelnik at the MEN Arena on Saturday.

While Khan and his trainer Freddie Roach have spoken at length about a showdown with former undisputed light-welterweight king Hatton, promoter Warren has kept his cards closer to his chest.
