Amir Khan vs. Derrick Gainer in The Works For Sept. 6
By Mark Vester
Sources close to the situation have informed BoxingScene.com that a potential lightweight showdown between Commonwealth champion Amir Khan (18-0, 14KOs) and former champion Derrick Gainer (41-7, 24KOs) is in the works for September 6 at the MEN Arena in Manchester, England.
An offer had previously been made to Gainer, but he declined due to his obligation to fight on the undercard of Roy Jones Jr. vs. Joe Calzaghe on September 20. After the September show was postponed to November 8, negotiations resumed for a Khan-Gainer encounter and talks are said to be progressing nicely
