By Charles Brun: Amir Khan welcomes a rematch with former two-division world champion Marcos Maidana if he comes out of his six-year retirement to resume his career. The 36-year-old Maidana (35-5, 31 KOs) is training for an exhibition match against a 47-yearArgenitinan kickboxer.
If Maidana looks good at beating the guy, which will take place in a boxing ring, then he could restart his career.
Khan and Maidana spoke this week during a conference call for the 99th WBA Convention. During the call, the 33-year-old Khan (34-5, 21 KOs) expressed interest in facing Maidana, who he beat ten years ago by a 10 round unanimous decision in December 2010. Khan knocked Maidana down with a body shot in round one. The fight took place in the 140-pound division.
Maidana had a point deducted for throwing an elbow when the referee Joe Cortez attempted to pull him off of Khan. It was a strange fight to watch, given the number of times that referee Cortez got in between Maidana when he was attempting to knock Khan out.
Cortez wasn’t letting Maidana work on the inside, and by doing that, he may have saved Khan from being knocked out. Khan had the reach and mobility. So when the action was on the outside, it favored him.
