Rejuvenated Briton to fight on US network again

Former light-welterweight champion Amir Khan will be showcasing his talents on Showtime for at least another two outings in 2013 as part of a three-fight deal with the American broadcaster.

The 26 year-old, who impressed on the network last weekend with a resounding win over Carlos Molina, is pencilled in to fight in the spring and the autumn of next year as he plots another world title.

The Bolton fighter is also planning to remain on Sky TV in the UK after a successful switch from Primetime PPV - with lucrative rematches with Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson in his sights for the coming year.

Khan suffered a disastrous twelve months up until his ten round stoppage of Molina at the LA Sports Arena and has recently been linked with a move up to welterweight to challenge Paulie Malignaggi for his WBA belt.
