Amir Khan could face Paul McCloskey rematch

Amir Khan has opened talks over a possible rematch with Northern Ireland's Paul McCloskey.

Khan stopped McCloskey in six rounds last April when the fight was halted due to a cut above McCloskey's eye, but McCloskey's manager Francie McNicholl has revealed that both camps are discussing a possible rematch.

McNicholl told BBC Sport: "Both parties are serious. The dates being mentioned are December 8 or December 15 in Manchester."

Khan is looking to bounce back from consecutive defeats to Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia.
