The Briton was furious after losing his WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles in Peterson's home city of Washington in December.

Khan had highlighted several grievances, chiefly referee Joseph Cooper's deduction of two points, the judges' scoring of the bout and the unexplained presence of 'mystery man' Mustafa Ameen at ringside.

Peterson has agreed to a rematch at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Richard Schaefer, chief executive of Golden Boy Promotions, has already sought guarantees over ringside security.

He said: "This is going to be a very big fight. [Security] will be very tight and Las Vegas is probably the best commission in the world and I know they will make sure that everything is going to be totally above board."

Kevin Mitchell hopes a strong display against Felix Lora at York Hall tonight will pave the way for another shot at becoming world champion.

The Dagenham lightweight was destroyed in three rounds by Aussie Michael Katsidis in his previous attempt at the title in May 2010 but has his sights set on a clash against Scotland's WBO world champion Ricky Burns.

Mitchell said: "A fight with Burns is a massive incentive."
