London: Sajjad Khan, father of British born Pakistani boxer Amir Khan, has said that they are closely monitoring the issue of Lamont Peterson’s positive dope test and its possible effects on May 19 rematch.
“Amir is ready for the fight and he is working hard to get his title back,” Khan told media.
Peterson took Khan’s WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles in his home town, Washington, last December and dithered before agreeing to give Khan a chance to get his titles back.
Boxing experts say that Peterson could lose his title after the positive dope test.
