Amir Khan has revealed he will return to the ring again in December with Robert Guerrero and Devon Alexander under consideration as opponents, as the British boxer builds on a thrilling victory over Luis Collazo in his first contest at welterweight.
Khan also said that a potential match-up with former sparring partner and eight-weight world champion Manny Pacquiao is under consideration if his plans for a showdown with boxing’s No 1 pound-for-pound prize-fighter Floyd Mayweather Jnr fail to materialise in May 2015.
Religious beliefs stopped Khan from being available to face Mayweather in September, with Khan’s former victim Marcos Maidana getting the re-match on Sept 17 in Las Vegas.
Yet Khan, after the shenanigans of his on/off fight with Mayweather, and the American’s mind games earlier this year, remains philosophical about the prospect of their meeting in a ring.
Khan, 27, told The Telegraph in an exclusive interview: “If the Mayweather fight happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. It’s one of those fights I wanted and everyone else wanted. I really believe the speed could have given him a lot of problems.”
