Amir Khan will have to wait until 2013 for a rematch against Lamont Peterson after the American failed a drug test

The rematch between Amir Khan and Lamont Peterson is heavily odds-on to stay off the fixture list in 2012 according to Ladbrokes.

Following Peterson's failed drugs test the light-welterweight bout has been called off from its original date of May 19th and the bookies quote 1/25 it doesn't get rescheduled and go ahead at another date this year.

It's 8/1 that Khan gets to settle the score in Las Vegas once and for all, however with Peterson out of the question it's looking like the man from Bolton will be facing a new opponent. 

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: "This is a bad week for boxing. Due to the controversy surrounding the rematch we cannot see this fight happening any time in the near future."
