As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, an agreement was reached for a unification bout between junior welterweight champions Amir Khan (25-1, 17KOs) and Zab Judah (41-6, 28KOs). The fight will take place on July 23 in Las Vegas.

Over the last few weeks, the negotiations were stalled over money and the fight location. Khan was offering a 60-40 split on the money and requested a Las Vegas venue, while Judah was demanding an even 50-50 split and requested a venue in Atlantic City. In the end, the two sides agreed on a split of 55-45 in Khan's favor, and the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas is the possible venue to host.

"It's going to come out anyway, so we agreed at at 55-45 split and to let the fight go to Las Vegas because Zab's real upside is going to be when he beats Amir Khan. So for a few points, it wasn't worth arguing on. We just wanted to get the promotion started, because we can make more money at the gate if we promote this well. So enough about the split, we just want to start promoting the fight," said Judah's promoter, Kathy Duva of Main Events to BoxingScene.com.

The bout will be televised on HBO. Duva told BoxingScene the contracts are in the process of being drafted.

"I just hung up with Zab, and we're working on the contracts already as we speak. The agreement between Zab and Main Events was that it was time to stop bickering over a couple of points and to get the fight on. He'll make his money when he wins the fight. It's in Las Vegas. [Golden Boy Promotions CEO] Richard Schaefer has been talking about the Mandalay Bay Hotel," Duva said.

Duva expects a very well received promotion, which the two boxers already feuled up by bickering with each other on the social networks.

"We can't wait to get the promotion started. We think that it's going to be a fabulous fight. They're already, the two of them, going back and forth on Twitter. They're going to make it a lot of fun. We can't wait to get started. We're all excited," Duva said.

Judah will be at Las Vegas' Paris Hotel on Wednesday for the IBF's recognition of its champions at the organization's convention.

"It's a champion's reception for their world champions," said Duva.
