With talks apparantly ongoing between Eddie Hearn and Amir Khan's representatives about a spring showdown between Khan and Kell Brook, the former Light Welterweight champion is set to fight in the USA on December 6th.
The likely opponent ahead of his muted IBF Welterweight title challenge and grudge match is the well respected Josesito Lopez.
Lopez has had it tough since victory over Victor Ortiz in 2012. Losing two on the bounce to Canelo Alvarez and Marcos Maidana. Since then he has come through a far from straightforward fight with Mike Arnautis, before halting Aaron Martinez and last night outpointed Rafael Cobos.
The 'Riverside Rocky' will know that another surprise victory would certainly get his career as a world title challenger back on track.
Khan however will certainly not look beyond Lopez, should the bout be made, knowing full well how defeat would effect future superfights both in Britain and America.
