WBA Interim super lightweight champion Marcos Maidana from Argentina will collide with Demarcus “Chop Chop” Corley at the Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Saturday, August 28.
Maidana’s co-promoter Golden Boy Promotion’s representative Eric Gómez, confirmed that if Maidana wins on Saturday a fight against Amir Khan is likely to happen in December.
Amir Khan started a rumor earlier this year stating Marcos Maidana and his team where asking for to much money to fight Khan and that is why the fight never happen.
“I’m focused 100% in my fight next Saturday against Demarcus Corley at the moment. But I still have some time to take a look at the news, so yesterday I’ read yet another lie from Amir Khan on the news and here is my answer. Khan is saying that we are overpricing the fight which is completely false since we didn’t even start any negotiations with Golden Boy Promotions, whatsoever. I want the fight, that’s it. But we never discussed any money figures for that bout to happen December 11″, Maidana said.
“Khan, the king of liars, is at it once again when it comes to talk about fighting me. He is trying to make boxing fans believe that I’m overpricing myself when in reality that is an excuse from Khan not to face me,” Maidana added.
Amir Khan vs Marcos Maidana will be awesome fight lets just hope it does happen.
