Amir Khan expects December homecoming

Amir Khan has announced that he expects to return to the ring in December and wants a homecoming fight in England.

Khan suffered a shocking knockout defeat to Danny Garcia on July 14 in Las Vegas and will now look to rebuild his confidence with a fight closer to home.

The 25-year-old told Sky Sports News: "I'm looking at fighting around December, hopefully the fight will be back in England because it's been such a long time since I fought here.

"I need to work on my mistakes and I know that, we now have to go back to the drawing board. I will talk to my team straight after the Olympics and we will fix things."

Khan has not fought in this country since a controversial victory over Paul McCloskey at the MEN Arena in April 2011.
