Former light welterweight world champion Amir Khan has withdrawn an appeal of last month’s controversial loss to Lamont Peterson.
Peterson (30-1-1, 15 KOs) won the fight on a split decision against Khan (26-2, 18 KOs) to claim the IBF and World Boxing Association belts.
The WBA, which also sanctioned the fight, ordered a rematch on January 12 after Khan complained of unfair judging.
“Team Khan have decided to withdraw their appeal and focus their full attention on Amir’s next fight,” Khan’s promoter Golden Boy Promotions said in a news release.
