Khan Vs Alexander

December 13 are you ready Amir King Khan takes on Devon Alexander who is your money on ?

The fight is slated to take place at Mandalay Bay, although there is a chance that casino officials will move the card to its sister property MGM Grand.

"Amir Khan looked good against my boy Collazo, but I have a feeling he wants to make a statement against Alexander, and Alexander is coming off a good win in a good action fight with Soto Karass," De La Hoya said. "What's happening here is they realize they have to prove themselves if they want to get a really big fight, like against Mayweather."

Khan (29-3, 19 KOs), 27, of England, has won three fights in a row since back-to-back losses in junior welterweight world title bouts against Danny Garcia (a fourth-round knockout in July 2012) and Lamont Peterson (a controversial split decision in December 2011).

Alexander (26-2, 14 KOs), 27, of St. Louis, is a former welterweight and junior welterweight titleholder. He was hungry to face Khan last year and was disappointed he backed out, but he is happy the fight for this December is on track.

"It came right back around," Alexander told ESPN.com. "It looks like it will happen, and I'm excited about it. Should be a big win for me. He tried to just wait to get the Mayweather fight and he didn't get it, and now he has to fight me. So it is inevitable we get in the ring and see who's best and who is catapulted to the next level.
