? Khan confirms next defence of light-welterweight title
? Briton will face Judah, 33, on 23 July in Las Vegas
Amir Khan has revealed the next defence of his light-welterweight title will be a unification bout with Zab Judah on 23 July.
The WBA champion will put his belt on the line, with Judah bringing his IBF strap to Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.
Khan wrote on his Twitter page: "July 23rd, WBA/IBF unification fight. KHAN vs JUDAH. Mandalay Bay."
The 24-year-old beat Paul McCloskey in April and had been linked with fights against either Timothy Bradley or Erik Morales.
Judah, 33, beat England's Junior Witter in 2000 and was involved in a stormy bout with Kostya Tszyu, which ended up with him throwing a stool. He has also lost to Carlos Baldomir, Floyd Mayweather and Miguel Cotto.
