AMIR KHAN: “NEXT FIGHT WILL BE AT 140…MAYWEATHER FIGHT, HOPEFULLY NEXT YEAR IN SUMMER”

“My next fight will be at 140. Me and my team are still working on a opponent. There are a few names in the mix, but nothing concrete as of yet…I really want the winner of that fight. It makes sense. Morales beat Maidana and Mattysse is a good fighter, so the winner of that fight should be number two in the division. It makes sense, plus the WBC belt will be on the line too. Hopfully in December, probably in LA or Vegas…The Mayweather fight, hopefully next year in the summer. I want that fight. It’s a fight I can win. Imagine that in the UK! Man, that would be huge! By next year, I’ll be ready for him then 100%,” stated jr. welterweight king Amir Khan, who talked about his future plans, including a potential winter clash with the winner of Morales vs. Matthysse followed by a summer showdown with Floyd Mayweather. Check it out!

BJ: Amir, you looked sensational in your fight with Zab. Were you happy with the performance?

AK: Yeah, I was happy with it, you know? Freddie gave me a great game plan and I feel I stuck to it very well. Everything just seemed to work and I am glad we got him out of there.

BJ: Will you be fighting at 140 again? Any news on your next opponent?

AK: Yeah, my next fight will be at 140. Me and my team are still working on a opponent. There are a few names in the mix, but nothing concrete as of yet.

BJ: Any chance we will ever see you face Timothy Bradley for all the marbles?

AK: If only! We tried everything to get the fight with Bradley. We offered him a 50/50 deal, but he didn’t want to fight, so not much I can do. It takes two and if one guy don’t want it, what can I do? I mean, we told him he won’t get the same offer again. He’s scared of losing to me.
