**scribbs** · 04-26-2013 11:23 AM

WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner's decision to move up to welterweight has opened up a possible bout with Amir Khan, Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer has hinted.

Undefeated Broner will move up two weight classes to face WBA welterweight champion Paulie Malignaggi at 147lbs on June 22 in New York, Golden Boy announced on Thursday.

With Khan tied up in a bout with Julio Diaz, and other top light-welterweights such as Zab Judah and Lamont Peterson also involved in upcoming fights, Broner made the decision to rise to the welterweight class.

Khan could make it competitive if he stands up to Broners power, it certainly would be interesting early on. Broner wouldn't have met anybody as fast Khan.

i like the fight, styles are a good contrast

khan is big and fast in comparison to what broner has faced before, and i reckon broner will be hit harder and more often than ever before

khan has a very good change
