Khan on Broner: I'd Fight Him Next, Make it Happen!

By Edward Chaykovsky

WBC silver welterweight champion Amir Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) has answered the call of former three division world champion Adrien Broner (30-1, 22 KOs). Earlier today, Broner challenged the British star to a showdown at the end of the month. Broner posted his challenge, along with a photo, on the social networks.

"No disrespect to Virgil Hunter, he is a great coach and I got endless love for him but me and Amir Khan can fight at the end of this month. I haven't taken any punishment, I'm back in the gym and ready to make a fool out of anybody #AboutBillions #ABonNBC."

Khan was reacted, also on the social networks, telling his followers that he'd love to face Broner next.

"[I] would love to fight Adrien Broner next! #KhanvsBroner - let's make it happen."

This past Saturday night, as part of the debut edition of Premier Boxing Champions on NBC, Broner made easy work of dangerous junior welterweight John Molina, by boxing his way to a twelve round unanimous decision. Khan is looking to return on a date in May and says he might announce his next opponent in the coming days. The exact date of his return, and the network of choice, has not been revealed at the moment.
