Amir Khan has welcomed the WBA's decision to reinstate him as their light-welterweight champion following his controversial loss to Lamont Peterson.
The Briton lost his WBA and IBF belts in a hotly-disputed loss to Peterson in the Washington fighter's hometown last December.
Khan raised a number of grievances surrounding the result and was further vindicated when Peterson tested positive for synthetic testosterone before their scheduled May rematch.
Golden Boy Promotions chief executive Richard Schaefer told Press Association Sport the WBA informed him that Khan has been given his title back and will put it on the line in a unification bout with WBC champion Danny Garcia on Saturday.
"Justice has been done," Khan told Press Association Sport.
"I'm glad the WBA are reinstating me as champion, it means I walk into this fight as world champion. There is a chance to win the WBC belt as well but not only that, the Ring magazine title will be on the line as well."
