Amir Khan is set to face Robert Guerrero on December 6 in what he hopes will be his last fight before facing Floyd Mayweather Junior.

Khan's promoter Oscar De La Hoya has suggested the contest and now Showtime chief Stephen Espinoza has given it his backing on twitter.

De La Hoya had considered matching Khan with Guerrero before he beat Luis Collazo in May and has pencilled in Brooklyn's Barclays Center for the clash.

The Golden Boy chief told The Ring: "A great venue for Khan and Guerrero, and maybe where that fight belongs, would be the Barclays Center in New York.

"The fans are just amazing at the Barclays Center and I believe that we can close out the year with a big fight like that at the Barclays Center in December. If not December, then, early next year."

Golden Boy had looked at pairing Khan with American Josesito Lopez, but Guerrero is a more credible opponent.

Guerrero lost to Mayweather in May 2013 and Khan could boost his chances of facing the world pound-for-pound king when he next fights in May if he can impress against the American.
