All the tests came back negative."He explained: "Amir came home from South Africa feeling weak and by Sunday his temperature had risen quite high. He didn't collapse or anything like that, but he went to the Beaumont Hospital in Bolton."They kept him in for tests but they all came back fine and he came home this morning."He has been told to get some rest but he will be fine to go to Las Vegas later this month to watch Juan Manuel M�rquez fight Juan Diaz."The winner of that world lightweight title showdown is likely to provide the next opponent for Khan some time after Ramadan, with 11 December a date the Khan camp are already working towards, although Khan has also stated he is keen to fight the winner of Marcos Maidana's fight with Timothy Bradley this autumn."We are looking at all our options and one thing Amir really wants to do is to come back and fight at home," Shah Khan added. "There is every chance we could be looking at either M�rquez or Diaz back here in December.".Amir KhanBoxingJames Callowguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds
