By William Mackay: WBA light welterweight interim champion Marcos Maidana (30-2, 27 KO’s) could be fighting fellow Golden Boy Promotions fighters Erik Morales or Robert Guerrero in August or September. Maidana would like to fight a rematch with WBA light welterweight champion Amir Khan, who beat Maidana by a 12 round decision last December, but Khan isn’t too eager to make that fight happen. Maidana is Khan’s mandatory challenger. Maidana says that Khan is supposed to fight him in September otherwise he should give up his WBA belt.

However, it’s unclear whether the WBA will enforce that. Khan isn’t looking for the rematch with Maidana in September. Khan wants to fight WBC/WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley sometime in 2011, provided that Khan beats IBF champ Zab Judah on July 23 in their unification bout in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Maidana said this in his twitter account about Khan: “I’m told Khan is using lawyers to put pressure on the WBA in order to avoid his mandatory bout with me in September”

“For those who ask, We’re in negotiations. Can be Guerrero or Morales in Aug or Sep. Not Khan, who proves to be scared of me again.”

Maidana also wouldn’t mind facing Paul McCloskey, but that’s not likely because Golden Boy probably won’t want to make that fight. McCloskey doesn’t have the name value that Guerrero or Morales has and he just finished looking horrible in a loss to Khan.

It likely won’t be Morales that Maidana fights next. Morales is said to be wanting a tune-up bout after getting beat and taking a lot of punishment from Maidana last April. That leaves only Guerrero for Maidana, unless he opts to fight someone else like McCloskey.
