Amir Khan is closing in on his long-awaited debut in the welterweight division against Luis Collazo.

The 27-year-old was angered to miss out on a bout with pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather and subsequently turned his attention to Ricky Hatton victim Collazo.

Khan has since teamed up with Mayweather's promoter Al Haymon in a bid to boost his career, with the new era in the ring getting under way next month.

Here's our guide to all the important information ahead of the bout, including recent form and betting odds.

When and where is the fight?

The fight takes place on May 3, with the action getting underway late on Saturday night and going into the early hours of Sunday morning.

It will be staged in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.

Khan v Collazo will be a co-main event alongside the Floyd Mayweather v Marcos Maidana bout.

I thought Khan was supposed to be fighting Mayweather?

The 27-year-old signed a contract in December that he had hoped would set him up for a possible super-fight with Mayweather.

The undefeated American then launched a social media campaign asking fans to decide which of Khan and Maidana he should take on in his next bout.

Interestingly, the Brit came out on top in the vote but heard nothing from Mayweather, who instead opted for Argentine Maidana.

And after dishing out a few verbals towards 'Money' , Khan accepted a slot on the undercard in a bid to show him exactly what he turned down.

Recent history

Khan - Next month's fight will be Khan's first since struggling to victory against Julio Diaz in April 2013.

He survived a fourth-round knockdown before labouring to a points victory against the veteran.

It came on the back of dispatching Carlos Molina with relative ease, as the Brit attempted to rebuild his career.

Back-to-back defeats to Danny Garcia and Lamont Peterson had led to questions over Khan's credentials but he has responded in the ideal way.

Collazo - The American goes into the Las Vegas bout, boasting an impressive four-fight winning run.

Collazo's last fight came at the end of January when he stopped Victor Ortiz in the second round.

Before that, he beat Alan Sanchez courtesy of a unanimous decision and hasn't tasted defeat since October 2011.

However, Khan will take some positive from Collazo's points loss to Ricky Hatton in 2006, with the Brit taking some tips from his compatriot.

Odds

Khan is the clear favourite for next month's fight and is available at 1/3 with Paddy Power.

You can get around 5/2 for Collazo to come out on top on May 3, with the draw on offer at 20/1.

The Brit is even money to win on points and at around 3/1 to win by KO. For Collazo, a price of 7/2 is available for KO and 11/2 for a points success.
