Amir Khan wants Errol Spence Jr, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia or Kell Brook for end of year showdown
Brit insists once he gets past Phil Lo Greco on April 21 he will fight again by September and wants a massive name
AMIR KHAN is targeting Errol Spence Jr, Keith Thurman, Danny Garcia or Kell Brook for a end of year showdown.
The Brit insists once he gets past Phil Lo Greco on April 21 he will fight again by September.
Bolton puncher Khan, 31, recently joined Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom stable, alongside rival Brook.
And he told Omnisport: “We’ll get this fight out of the way and then fight again in August, September time.
“Then we’ll probably get a big one in December. The Brook fight is out there, there’s Spence, Thurman, the rematch with Danny Garcia.
“There are some big fights out there for me so it’s all about being smart in there.”
Khan said IBF welterweight champion Spence Jr is regarded as one of the best welterweights in the world.
He added: “He’s a very good fighter. He’s probably one of the best welterweights out there. I definitely respect him.

“You’ve also got Thurman, who’s really good. The welterweight division has got big names in and I respect them all.”
Khan has also been targeted by Floyd Mayweather protege and serial badboy Adrien Broner.
Broner – who has struggled with life outside the ring and was feared to have committed suicide in 2016 – also wants a piece of Khan.
He tweeted: “Last but not least @amirkingkhan I just want to knock him out cause it don’t take much to do it plus it will sell out over in the UK so if @eddiehearn want to make the fight let’s f****** do it….. NOW I RESPECT ALL THESE GUYS BUT LIKE I SAID 2018 is MY YEAR”
