Scharfer wants to make Khan Katsidis in July

[Kirkland Laing]

Katsidis would want a ton of dough to srop his WBO interim slot and move up in weight to fight a bigger faster guy. If it's going to be in England in July much easier to make the Prescott fight, it would sell out an arena and Khan Promotions would only have to pay him buttons compared to a Katsidis purse. The telly would want it too.

Apart from the hardcore Khan critics on this forum who insist he must avenge this loss I really think most would rather see Khan take on Katsidis.

It's a great fight, Katsidis is 2-0 against British fighters and has already twice fought on HBO. He's a big name and the average fightfan would much rather see Khan vs Kats I imagine.

I actually think Katsidis will be back in the UK soon regardless. If he doesn't fight Amir then John Murray must be an attractive opportunity.

I reckon Kats probably makes more far money fighting overseas than he does in Towoomba which is why he is is always fighting either over her or in the US.

I can see him fighting Khan or Murray before the year is out.

I agree most people would rather see Khan vs. Katsidis but I don't see it being an easy fight to make and neither guy is going to want a fight like that with six weeks to prepare. I don't think Khan will fight somebody like Katsidis or Maidana at such short notice. Prescott would be cheap, a much easier fight and would sell a lot of tickets to Khan bandwagon fans due to their previous fight. Could be wrong though.
