American opponent next for Khan

Amir Khan will face his first American opponent as a professional when he has his seventh paid fight at Glasgow’s Braehead Arena next month.

Promoter Frank Warren is hoping to reveal the identity of the opponent tomorrow or Thursday for the Olympic silver medallist’s appearance on March 25 on the undercard of Scott Harrison’s WBO featherweight title defence against Joan Guzman, the former WBO super-bantamweight title-holder from the Dominican Republic.
