British welterweight contender Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs) said he could see himself avenging his loss to Danny Garcia (30-0, 17KOs) in the future if he gets past Chris Algieri on Friday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Khan was dropped three times and stopped in the fourth round of his bout with Garcia in 2012 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, which caused some to call for the British fighter to retire. Khan would love another shot at the Philly fighter.
Garcia, still holding the WBC/WBA world titles at junior welterweight, has not fought in the division in over a year - with his last two outing taking place a few pounds north. Garcia is welterweight bound in the immediate future.
“I love that fight,” Khan said of facing Garcia again. “That fight is something in the future that could happen for sure. I mean I’m a lot more comfortable at this weight whereas before I was killing myself to make 140. But this is a good weight for me and I’m very excited for what the future will hold for me once I get past this fight.”
