"Be careful what you wish for kid", was British boxing star Amir Khan's response to Vijender Singh and his promoters' proposal of a possible showdown with the Indian fighter in the coming few months.

Congratulating Vijender for winning the WBO Asia Pacific Super Middleweight title in New Delhi on Saturday, Khan also reacted to Vijender and his promoter Queensberry Promotions' hints at a possible face off.
 
"Congratulations to @boxervijender on the win. Careful what you wish for kid!," tweeted Khan, a former Olympic silver-medallist and WBA/IBF super lightweight world champion.

The 30-year-old Vijender clinched his seventh straight win and the Super Middleweight title by outlasting former WBC European champion Kerry Hope in a 10-round contest.

Their weight divisions are very far apart, but Vijiender believes that a compromise can be worked out between the two fighters in the future.

"Mine and Amir's weight categories are different. So, in case he increases his weight or I decrease mine then we can work it out. We are thinking about it, so let's see. I hope that when that big fight happens, it happens in India only," said Vijender.

Khan, who is currently in Dubai, recently moved up from welterweight to test himself in the middleweight division by taking on then world champion Saul Canelo Alvarez. However, it ended in disaster for him when he was knocked out in the sixth round. The Pakistan-origin boxer had expressed a desire to take on Vijender in India before he finalized the showdown with Alvarez.
