Former champion in two weight classes Amir Khan (32-4, 20 KOs) will fight next on September 8 in Birmingham against the Colombian, settling in Canada, Samuel Vargas (29-3-2, 14 KOs).
"One of my goals for this year is to be as active as possible. Therefore, I am very happy to return to the ring against Samuel Vargas," Khan said. "Vargas is a tough and well-trained fighter who has fought the best, including Danny Garcia and Errol Spence Jr."
"I must pass Vargas before striving for better fights in future. I'm not going to underestimate Vargas, because I know that on September 8 he will be ready. I hope to show the fans in Birmingham the same holiday as in my last fight. Do not miss!"
