Amir Khan faces Zab Judah in a junior welterweight trinket unification bout on July 23 in Las Vegas, and here's the official fight poster, via Amir Khan's Twitter:
Khan (25-1, 17 KO) and Judah (41-6, 28 KO) are at quite different stages in their careers, with Khan currently one of the top junior welterweights in the world, and Judah having clawed his way back into that company. Khan, 24, is currently one of the "golden child" fighters with HBO. Judah, 33, was a castaway just a couple of years ago, but starting last year has mounted a comeback that has netted him the IBF title earlier this year, and now a second HBO main event after not being featured by the network since 2008.
It is, in some ways, a classic crossroads fight, but there are many who feel Judah is a very live dog in this one. I'm not among them, because I'm not as high on Judah's comeback journey as some have been, but he's still got talent. The question is if he has enough.
