Amir Khan (19-1, 15 KOs; age 22) will fight Mexican legend and Marco Antonio Barrera (64-6, 43 KOs; age 34).

No venue or TV has been announced, but the bout will take place in the UK.

Barrera is promoted by Don King, Khan by Frank Warren. Khan is now being trained by Freddie Roach, and is looking to keep his career momentum up after suffering a KO1 loss to Breidis Prescott in September.

Barrera took a year off after a conclusive decision loss to Manny Pacquiao in 2007. He talked retirement, but came back this November and won a rust-remover bout against 25-19 Sammy Ventura.
