The World Boxing Association has ordered an immediate rematch between Amir Khan and Lamont Peterson, according to Khan's promoters.

One claim is that an unknown man, who has now apparently been identified, was seen "interfering with" a WBA official.
"The WBA... will order an immediate rematch," said Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer.
"We received a verbal confirmation today [Saturday] and we will get a written confirmation by next Tuesday.
"That means that no fighter can take an interim fight, that the next fight for Peterson would be a rematch.
"We hope that the IBF will follow because that's the least they can do. The ruling of the WBA to order an immediate rematch should put additional pressures on the IBF."
