The former Light-Welterweight champion and Olympic Silver Medalist’s last trip inside the boxing ring was back in May of 2016 against Canelo Alvarez.

Now, that he’s on the map once again, He is elated to get back in business, wrap his hands up and swore to add another championship belt to his resume.

“I’m thrilled to be teaming up with Matchroom. This decision is not one I’ve taken lightly, as I’m at a hugely important time in my career, but having spoken to Eddie at length, it was clear he and I were on the same page in terms of what I want to be doing and what I still want to achieve. I’m determined to win another World Championship and I’m confident I’ve got the right team behind me to help me do so.”

“Just as important a factor was the opportunity to fight in the UK for the first time in seven years, and to do so with the support of the British fans and Sky Sports behind me. British boxing is in such a good place and I genuinely can’t wait to get back in that ring with the incredible home support behind me.” – Amir Khan

With this agreement, Eddie Hearn plans to serve great fights on the table for Amir Khan. Names includes Pacquiao, Kell Brook, Keith Thruman and Errol Spence Jr.

“The plan is to box in April and then again in August or September in preparation for a super fight in Winter 2018. The target is to provide him with the biggest fights possible with a mouth-watering list of names including the likes of Manny Pacquiao, Kell Brook, Keith Thurman and Errol Spence. I’m excited to get started and looking forward to a huge night of boxing on April 21.”
