Boxer Amir Khan to face Martin Kristjansen in February
Boxer Amir Khan's next fight will be on 2 February when he takes on Denmark's Martin Kristjansen at London's ExCel Arena for the nominal WBO intercontinental lightweight crown.
However, Amir Khan's promoter Frank Warren said: "I will writing to the WBO with the aim of making this fight as an eliminator for the world title."
Amir Khan, 21, wants to continue his rise up the world rankings after defeating former British champion Graham Earl in just 72 seconds on 8 December.
Martin Kristjansen, 30, has an impressive 19-1-3 professional record as a boxer, and has won his last eight fights, with only five wins as the result of a stoppage.
Considering this, Frank Warren added: "This is another step up for Amir. Kirstjansen is world ranked and will give him plenty to think about.
"Amir has only just turned 21, but he looked absolutely sensational in demolishing an experienced former champion in Graham Earl."
