Amir Khan's next bout is being lined up to take place in London on the same night as David Haye hopes to fight in Las Vegas.
Amir Khan's prize for surviving a brutal onslaught by Marcos Maidana en route to retaining his WBA light-welterweight title looks like being a fight in London on 16 April as part of a two-city British boxers extravaganza with David Haye, who is being steered towards a showdown with Wladimir Klitschko in Las Vegas on that night

Sounds great, but in reality I'd rather they were on different nights as I'd have considered Vegas for Haye-Klitchsko but I'd go to London in this case.

Lets hope it happens

Why is it historic?

the boxingtruth radio last night said that richard schaefer has suggested zab judah as a opponent in the uk for khan

Well I suppose Wlad v Haye could be seen as one for the ages - it'd be one of the most anticipated heavyweight fights since.....Holmes v Cooney? ( Tyson v Holy and Spinks were seen as mismatches by alot of people )

And history wise, it could break box office PPV records - DH knows how to talk up a fight.

Zab Judah? Dangerous fight for Khan - Zab has a chilling punch on him.

No chance. Khan is now big box office, while Haye and Klitschko are not going to split their takings with anyone

I would rather see them on the same card-makes more sense

If Khan wants to put on a great show, then he should try to get Froch on the same bill as himself. Forget about Haye .. the guys a joke ... get our other top fighter, and make a real good night of it. Who wants to see Haye run around the ring for 12rnds against a Klitchsko or bounce another overmatched tomato-can over..

I like the rumblings around this one. If Haye v Wlad can be made in Vegas, it makes sense for there to be a big UK card the same night. Khan v Judah at the O2 fits the bill perfectly, but would that be a Golden Boy promo? Would be interesting if so and a huge kick up the jacksie for UK promoters.

Zab Judah ?

Cant see that !

can you name another time two british world champion's both boxed on the same bill in vegas or the states???

Paul Ingle and Lennox Lewis - two champions who defended on the same bill in the states.

Hamed and Rob Reid (one of many examples) two champions who defended on the same night - one in the UK and one in the States.

Loads of examples - although I would stress that just because its not a first doesn't mean to say it is not an historic night of boxing.

We could add though - can you remember when two world or Olympic medalists from the UK defended their world proffesional titles on the same night.

Isn't Pacquiao rumoured to fight in Vegas that night....?

Can't see Freddie wanting both fights on same night.

And with all due respect to Paul Ingle and Robin Reid, those nights were about Lewis and Hamed. Khan and Haye are both headliners in their own rights, so to see both on the same night would be an outstanding showcase for British boxing.

Yes. It is hard to imagine them going with Zab ... Zab is still very fast and punches pretty good also ... Oh, I forgot, Khan is granite chinned now though

Judah would be a strange fight to take, he will be really dangerous early (I actually think be could match Khan for speed) I think ZJ could maybe stop Khan early, he may be past it but the guy can still punch and is still so akward! Would be a great night of boxing!

I think Zab is a GREAT fight.... he is not exactly a "too much risk for too little reward". If you classify Hatton as retired and everyone is fighting at their last weights (so JMM is a Lightweight, Floyd and Pac at 147/154) then he is the BIGGEST name in the devision. The most well known.

Its a better and safer fight than Bradley, cause he looks past it now - scraped by his last fight and its a bigger money spinner than Bradley, Hold, Alexander practically combined.

Read my above post..... Lewis and Ingle.

Zab has operated at levels Marcos Maidana can dream about and Khan has yet to reach.

If Khan fancies Floyd, he has to be taking care of fighter's like Judah in the same manner Cotto has done.

If there's ANY leading light welter Zab Judah could beat at the moment, it's Amir Khan.
