Mauricio Sulaiman: 'Danny Garcia must fight Amir Khan by June'

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman says that welterweight champion Danny Garcia must face mandatory challenger Amir Khan no later than June.

WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman has said that a rematch between welterweight champion Danny Garcia and Amir Khan must take place no later than June.

In July 2012, when both men competed at super-lightweight, Garcia stopped Khan in four rounds, but they are in line to meet again after Garcia beat Robert Guerrero for the vacant WBC strap and Khan was made mandatory challenger.

There are other options for both fighters, but Sulaiman has confirmed that he is looking for a deal to be agreed for a clash, which would likely take place in May or June.

Sulaiman is quoted by badlefthook.com as saying: "Garcia-Guerrero was a tremendous fight for the WBC championship. Now we have a champion and it's going to be a great year to come.

"Amir Khan is the mandatory contender, he is next for Danny Garcia and they must fight by June."

Garcia is unbeaten in 32 fights, while Khan possesses a professional record of 31 wins and three defeats.
