Amir Khan says he wants to challenge the winner of the Victor Ortiz and Floyd Mayweather fight in the UK. The Bolton-born fighter is currently preparing for the defence of his WBA light-welterweight title against IBF champion Zab Judah on the 23rd of July.
Khan told BBC London 94.9: "I'd like to fight the winner of Ortiz or Mayweather maybe next year.
"That could be a good fight for me in the UK where we haven't had a big fight like that in a long time."
Mayweather is preparing for his latest return to the ring when he challenges Ortiz for the WBC welterweight title on the 17th of September. Khan says he is fully focused on his title defence against Judah but is already looking ahead to another fight at the end of the year, before moving up a division.
"Having ambitions in life pushes and drives you on. I'm hoping to get Zab Judah out of the way and look good against him then get one more fight at the end of the year and then hopefully move up to welterweight," said the Bolton fighter. "Everywhere you go in America they hate Mayweather but in England they love him. He deserves respect though because he's a great fighter and a great champion.
"It would be massive to get him down to England because there's no one else at our weight who could get him over. I think at one time he did hint he wanted to fight in England and this could be the fight for him."
