World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan will face former IBF light welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi on May 15, 2010 at the Madison Square Garden in New York City. For the past few days, Khan was linked to have a title bout against Juan Manuel Marquez, 36, however, Nacho Beristain, Marquez trainer they have no interest in fighting Khan because it will just reflect as a stepping-stone fight to build Khan's name in boxing. This is the reason why boxing fans have the opportunity to watch Khan vs Malignaggi fight each other.

However, Malignaggi confirmed that he accepted the fight because of the good offer and he does not want to be treated like an opponent because he feels that he is more popular in the United States compare to Khan who is yet unrecognized to typical boxing enthusiast. Khan was apparently be facing Marcos Maidana (a knockout artist boxer), nevertheless the Golden boy Promotion has concluded a deal with Maidana to let his step aside for awhile to allow Khan as well as himself get better recognition in the US before they fight each other that is possibly in late this year.

I ...
... hope that Amir Khan does not make practice of fighting light punchers like Malignaggi, though it will still be a fair fight to watch Khan vs Malignaggi. Since moving up to light welterweight division in 2009, he has been controlled fighting weaker punchers such as beating Andriy Kotelnik, who held the WBA light welterweight belt at the time that Khan fought with him. Many boxing fans felt that his opponent then was a paper-like champion and they are hoping that this coming May 15 against Malignaggi will result in a much better fight that could possible prove who is the best fighter between this two guys!
