British Olympic lightweight silver medallist Amir Khan will fight his Athens conqueror Mario Kindelan of Cuba at the Reebok stadium in Bolton on May 14. Khan, 18, was thwarted in his bid to become the youngest Olympic boxing champion since American Floyd Patterson in 1952 when he lost 30-22 to Kindelan last August.

The fight was originally scheduled for April 30 but was postponed because of Kindelan's commitments with the national squad.

Khan has been acclaimed as a potential world professional champion by a number of distinguished boxers including former world heavyweight champion Evander Holyfield.
