Peterson doing it for the fans

Khan still insisting he won the first fight



Lamont Peterson said he was 'doing it for the fans' at a London press conference to publicise his fight against Amir Khan on May 19.

The pair will get it on for the second time in six months at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas after Peterson took the IBF and WBA light-welterweight titles from the Briton in December.

The win, by split decision, sparked controversy after Khan was docked two points for pushing his opponent, with the former champion initially appealing the decision and questioning the role of an unofficial IBF representative at ringside. Nonetheless, many believed Peterson earned the narrow win in Washington on merit and it remains to be seen whether Khan can raise his game in what promises to be an intriguing rematch.  - http://www1.skysports.com
