Khan reinstated as WBA champ

THE WBA is reinstating British boxer Amir Khan as its junior welterweight champion, just in time for a 140-pound unification bout this weekend in Las Vegas with WBC champion Danny Garcia.

Nevada State Athletic Commission executive Keith Kizer said he learned on Wednesday that Saturday's Khan-Garcia matchup at the Mandalay Bay Events Center will be a WBA-WBC unification fight. The WBA announced that Khan was being given back the crown he lost to Lamont Peterson in a disputed split decision last December in Washington DC. Peterson later failed a doping test.
