The 31-year-old Irishman Paul McCloskey was unbeaten in 22 fights and was ranked the world number ten. Khan won a sixth-round by a technical decision. Paul McCloskey was cut by an unintentional head-butt. Paul McCloskey suffered a bad cut on the inside of the left eyebrow. In the sixth round, a five-punch combination from Khan staggered McCloskey and moments later he noticed blood coming from around his left eye.

Khan vs. Judah
After a war of words with Judah on Twitter, Amir Khan agreed to fight with him on 31 May 2011 in an attempt to unify the IBF and WBA Light Welterweight titles in Las Vegas on 23 July. Khan began the fight with a left jab. All first four rounds were taken by Khan. On the 5th round, Zab was taken down with a right uppercut to the body, in which at first commentators thought it was a low blow since Judah was showing signs of serious pain, but when it was seen from a different camera angle, it was right on the belt, leading Amir Khan to give up and this was his 18th knockout in his career so far.
Khan vs. Peterson
On 10 December 2011, Lamont Peterson had beaten Khan for the WBA and IBF light-welterweight titles in Washington DC. Khan was deducted two points in rounds seven and twelve by the referee Joe Cooper for pushing. Both of them boxed well, and the two judges scored it 113-112 to Peterson, with the other 115-110 to Khan (originally announced as 114-111 to Khan). The scoring was controversial since the judges were being witnessed to be interrupted together with and a re-match looked certain.
Unfortunately for the fans, Peterson’s dope test was later found to be positive and at last he had to return both titles to Khan. Although apparently Khan was beaten by cheating, but it did dent his confidence.
Khan vs. Garcia
He was set to face Danny Garcia in his next fight. At the pre-fight show, Khan and Garcia’s dad got into a warmed mood. Khan also mentioned his wish to shift up to the 147lb department if effective against Garcia, for prospective fights with high-profile boxers like Floyd Mayweather and Jimmy Bradley, although Bradley has formerly denied a battle with Khan to be able for a big fight against Manny Pacquiao. Khan was looking favourite at the start and he started of very well by coming hard at Garcia. His punches were landing more effectively, and his feet were also alright. Garcia turned it around in the 3rd round and knock out Khan in the 4th order to win the fight and the titles also.
