Khan 1-4 to win Peterson rematch in Las Vegas

AMIR KHAN has been chalked up at 1-4 to win his rematch with Lamont Peterson after it was confirmed the bout will take place on May 19.

Peterson claimed the WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles from Khan in his home town of Washington DC in December in controversial circumstances.

Khan complained about the refereeing while a'mystery man' was seen talking to the scoring supervisor during the fight which the American won on points.

After weeks of negotiations, Peterson agreed to the rematch which will take place at Las Vegas's Mandalay Bay hotel.

Adil Anwar is 5-2 favourite for Saturday's Prizefighter light-welterweights competition.
