Prescott: I'll Sign a Khan-tract!
PhilBoxing.com Mon, 30 May 2011
Now that negotiations between WBA Light Welterweight Champion Amir Khan and potential opponents WBC Junior Welterweight Champion Timothy Bradley and IBF Super Lightweight Champion Zab Judah have broken down, Colombian power puncher Breidis "The Khanqueror" Prescott (24-2, 19 KOs) wants Khan to make good on his promise to face him in a rematch.
For those who don't recall, Prescott fed Khan a leather sandwich packed with dynamite and ruined his undefeated record in 54 seconds in September 2008 at the M.E.N. Arena.
"Amir has said over and over he would face Bradley first and then fight the rematch with me. So... the fight with Bradley fell through. Guess who's supposed to be next? ME!" shouted Prescott. "There will be very little haggling over money. I will sign and we will fight again. Done. Let's do it."
Prescott points out the strange situation he is currently in: chasing Khan around trying to convince him to want to try and avenge his only defeat - the one that hangs over his head to this day in the minds of most fans.
"I don't get this guy. He's supposed to be a champion. Ok. Act like it. I shouldn't be calling you out. You should be banging down my door for this fight. Every time they tell Amir Khan's story on television they always cut to me knocking him out and yet my phone never rings. Why is that, Amir? You're supposedly a totally different fighter now, but apparently you're still as scared as ever of me."
Prescott was last seen in April scoring a dominating decision victory over Bayan Jargal on national television.
"I have kept my end of your bargain, Amir. I was laying into you pretty good not long ago until you said publicly you'd fight me again right after Bradley. Don't be afraid. The worst thing that can happen is you get some more sleep. Call me. Let's do this."
