Khan is hopeful of landing a rematch against Cuban Mario Kindelan in his last amateur fight, which has been confirmed for April 16 at the Reebok Stadium.
The 18-year-old will soon sign professional terms with Frank Warren - who will promote the show in conjunction with Bury Amateur Boxing Club.
Kindelan - who has reversed a decision to retire after the Athens Games - has indicated he will be part of a Cuban team to meet a Four Nations line-up in Liverpool on April 8.
And Warren hopes to persuade the Amateur Boxing Association to sanction Kindelan staying on to face Khan for a second time.
Warren said: "Amir wants to give something back to his team-mates and the aim is to raise as much money as possible for his club.
"It will be Amir's swansong as an amateur and he has specifically asked to fight Kindelan again.
"There could be no better opponent and I am working hard to lobby the ABA to help make this great match happen." Tweet

Amir Khan has no real intention of fighting Mario Kindelan at the ABA's and Frank Warren is making his usual grandiose statements that will come to nothing. Just wait and see what the excuses are for how Khan v Kindelan won't happen. And it's the biggest shame in boxing that Khan is signing with Frank Warren, who will waste him in meaningless fights and probably end up wrapping the absurb WBU belt around his waist and no more! Bad move Amir, you're losing fans by the droves!
