Amir Khan: I know I will cause Mayweather problems!

The Bolton’s finest, Amir Khan, who currently holds the WBA light welterweight title, will lock horns with the WBC light welterweight champion, Danny Garcia, today at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada and he believes a win over Garcia will lead him to a potential fight with the undefeated American legend Floyd Mayweather junior.

The five-division world champion and the current WBC welterweight champion, Mayweather, holds an incredible record of winning all of his 43 professional fights, with 26 of his wins coming by the way of a knockout.

Many boxing experts out there consider Mayweather as the hardest to hit in the ring. However, Khan reckons he has all the hallmarks of becoming the first man ever to beat Mayweather in the ring.

While speaking on his inclusion, the Brit told the media that he is moving up to the 147lbs division only because of Mayweather. He said he feels it is the best time to catch Mayweather as he is getting older now.

Khan said, “Watching Mayweather’s last fight, coupled with the way I’ve been training, I think I’m ready.

“I know I will cause Mayweather problems. He’s getting older and slower now. It’s the best time to catch him. “I really believe I do have the style to beat him.”

“One of the reasons I want to move up to 147lbs is to fight Mayweather and it’s not about the money, it’s about me knowing I can beat the guy and be the next guy at the top, the next pound-for-pound champion.”

The 35-year-old, also known as Pretty Boy’, is currently serving a 90-day prison sentence for domestic abuse but Khan said he will be waiting when he gets out.

“I hope he comes out of prison unscathed and he’s in shape because I really believe I have his number,” he said.

Well, all said and done, in order to set up a fight with Floyd Mayweather, Khan has to pass Danny Garcia test first in a dominant way. So let’s see if he beats Garcia today.

Khan and Garcia will lock horns this Saturday at Mandalay Bay Casino & Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.  To get a chance of winning FREE tickets to the fight, go to http://contest.wishfree.com/amirkhan/.
