Big-time boxing’s return to our nation’s capital has created a buzz amongst sports fans ready to see the Unified Super Lightweight Champion Amir "King" Khan defend his titles against the No. 1-rated IBF Contender Lamont Peterson on Saturday, Dec. 10 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. Plus, Brandywine, Maryland’s undefeated top heavyweight contender and former Michigan State University standout linebacker Seth "Mayhem" Mitchell and Lamont’s brother and top lightweight contender Anthony Peterson will be featured in separate fights.

Khan (26-1, 18 KO) will be putting his IBF and WBA junior welterweight titles on the line against Peterson (29-1-1, 15 KO) in Peterson's backyard for this one, and it's the first major fight in DC in quite a while. Khan figures to bring over some fans with him and the atmosphere could be good, as we often see when fights are held where fans might care about the fighters and the fight more than just being there.
It also figures to be Khan's final fight at 140 pounds should he win, as the British star has designs on moving to welterweight and chasing a fight with Floyd Mayweather next year.
