Earlier today, WBA and IBF junior welterweight champion Amir Khan entertained the media during a conference call ahead of his upcoming December 10th bout. Khan is getting ready for a defense of his titles in Washington, D.C. against hometown favorite and proven contender Lamont Peterson and will then likely be eyeing a move up to the welterweight division afterwards.
