AMIR Khan will defend his WBA light-welterweight title against European champion Paul McCloskey on April 16.
In his first fight on home soil since 2009, the British fighter will face the Northern Irishman at the MEN Arena in Manchester.
"Home is home and I love fighting in England," the 24-year-old Khan said. "Not many people can afford to travel all the way to America to see me fight. McCloskey's not a pay-per-view fighter and he agrees with that."
Khan fought in the United States last year, defeating Paulie Malignaggi and Marcos Maidana. He has a career record of 24 wins (17 KOs) and one loss.
The 31-year-old McCloskey, who is 22-0 but hasn't fought any big names.
