Will Khan fight the winner of Alexander-Urango?
By William Mackay: For World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan (22-1, 16 KO’s) he could do himself a world of good if he rises up and takes on the winner of tonight’s unification bout between WBC champion Devon Alexander (19-0, 12 KO’s) and IBF title holder Juan Urango (22-2-1, 17 KO’s) at the Mohegan Sun Casino, in Uncasville, Connecticut. Khan, 23, could very well find himself facing Alexander, also 23, and wouldn’t have to worry about having his tender chin checked. Alexander is decent puncher, but nowhere near the power of Breidis Prescott or someone like WBA light welterweight interim champion Marcos Maidana.

Alexander, 23, is a boxer/puncher who can both punch and box incredibly well interchangeably.
