Former world champion Amir Khan is ready to return to the ring. In 2017 the Briton did not have a single fight, but now he announced his intention to become a welterweight champion and clear the entire division.
"I'm inspired and motivated. I'm going to completely clear the welterweights. In this category, there are fighters to beat. Here are Keith Thurman, with whom I would gladly met, there is Errol Spence also and even a possible rematch with Danny Garcia or Lamont Peterson. There are big names there.
Many people remember my defeat to Alvarez, but he was really too big for me and, besides, he is one of the best P4P boxers. At the same time, everyone knows that I was winning on points. I do not think that in the welterweights, someone is able to push on me like Alvarez did. Saul is a very big guy. That's why I say that I'm a welterweight. I'm going to clear the welterweight division and once again become the champion. Write down my words, " said Khan.
The current world champions in welterweight division are Keith Thurman (WBA, WBC), Errol Spence (IBF) and Jeff Horn (WBO).
