Amir Khan: Mayweather Will Not Be Able To Hurt Me!

Britain’s Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs) produced a dominant performance to secure a unanimous points victory against former two-division world champion Devon Alexander in Las Vegas.

After Khan, 28, dominated the early rounds, 27-year-old Alexander offered little until the eighth, when he managed to land a series of hooks. But the clinical Bolton fighter remained in charge, and all three judges scored heavily in his favor.

Afterwards, Khan reiterated his desire to fight WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather (47-0, 26KOs).

“I really believe I’ve earned my shot against the best boxer in the world and that’s Mayweather,” said Khan. “He is the ideal fight for me. It would be a game of chess, but I would be too skilful. I have the skill and movement to beat him. He will not be able to hurt me. I feel better now than I did when I was 25. I’m dedicated to the sport and I know there’s a few years left in me. I’m going to try and force that fight with Mayweather.”
