Britain's Amir Khan, fresh off a stunning knockout loss to Danny Garcia in July, is planning a return to the ring this December but has not yet selected an opponent.
In a story reported on boxingscene.com, the 25-year-old Khan says he already has a date selected for his return and has dismissed rumors he will be facing undefeated multi-weight champion Joan Guzman.
"I want someone who is a bit more credible than him. I've come from world title fights and he might be a little below that," said Khan. "We're just getting the dates right. It will either be in England, December 15th is the date."
One thing is for sure, if Khan ever hopes to elevate himself to the upper echelon of the sport, he is going to need to protect his chin better. Two of his three defeats have come by stunning and spectacular knockout against fighters he was expected to beat.
To his credit, Khan understands the urgency of the situation.
"I'll be going to New York to speak to a few coaches and maybe bring in a mentor who can help me in defense," Said Khan. He went on to say he was mainly looking at former and current fighters including Bernard Hopkins, Oscar de la Hoya and Shane Mosley.
