Amir Khan rematch with Lamont Peterson confirmed by World Boxing Association "I just received, half an hour ago, a letter from the WBA on their official decision that they are going to order an immediate rematch," he said. I think that it's the right decision, and I hope that we can get the rematch done. And while the WBA have ordered the second fight, Peterson could still opt to relinquish that title rather than give Khan a second chance - particularly if the IBF, at a hearing on January 18, allow him to keep that belt without fighting Khan again. Peterson's trainer and manager Barry Hunter this week accused Khan of using "foul tactics and false accusations" to discredit the new champion. Khan has publicly aired several grievances, from referee Joe Cooper's decision to dock the Englishman two points to the judges' decisions and alleged discrepancies with the scorecards. Khan then reignited the issue last week by questioning the role of the then-unidentified Mustafa Ameen at ringside.
