Amir Khan: I’m sure Mayweather is already talking about fighting me!

Former light welterweight world champion Amir Khan believes he is one of the biggest draws in the sport and the undefeated American legend Floyd Mayweather would definatley be considering him as an opponent.

Khan told ‘On The Ropes Boxing Radio’, “Yeah, In the world of boxing there are very few names that can sell tickets and can get big TV viewing figures now, and I’m sure Mayweather is already talking about fighting me.”

The Bolton’s finest, who is more commonly known as King Khan, is currently set to take on Danny Garcia for the WBC title in the Las Vegas on July 14.

Khan has called it ‘his last fight at 140lbs’ because he will then move up to 147lbs division in order to search for a big fight with the five-division world champion, Mayweather junior.

While speaking on his inclusion, Khan admitted fighting Mayweather is his dream and he is looking forward to it.

He remarked, “I would love to take that fight against Mayweather one day, its an ambition of mine to fight the best out there, just like every fighter’s ambition to fight the best, my ambition is to fight Mayweather!.”

Meanwhile, the Brit also shared his thoughts on his upcoming fight. He said he is expecting a tough fight from Garcia but he is sure he will emerge victorious on the night.

He said, “We expect another tough fight, I’ve had some great wins in Las Vegas, beaten Maidana, beaten Zab Judah for ibf, so make this the third one against Danny Garcia. Danny Garcia brings a lot to the table really, he unbeaten, he has the WBC title, and I think when a fighters unbeaten he has a lot of confidence, and I’m sure he does not want to taste to defeat.”

Well, all said and done, Khan will have to pass Garcia test because he has recently lost his titles to Lamont Peterson, in a fight which ended in a huge controversy.
