Adrien Broner wants to fight Amir Khan after Shawn Porter
Thursday 11 June 2015 16:33, UK
Three-weight world champion Adrien Broner is targeting a fight with Amir Khan after his all-American clash with Shawn Porter in Las Vegas on June 20.
The 25-year-old Broner lost his WBA world welterweight title to Marcos Maidana in December 2013 but has since rebuilt his career with three points victories to move to 30-1-0.
In Porter, he faces a compatriot who was only relieved of his IBF world welterweight crown by a majority decision defeat to Kell Brook last August, but the man from Cincinnati is supremely confident he can inflict a second career defeat on Porter and move on to the likes of Khan.
Broner said: "I'll fight anybody. It ain't nothing new. I'm AB and anybody can get it. I want to be the best and to be the best you have to beat the best.
I wanted Amir Khan, Danny Garcia, Maidana again, Lucas Mathysse. I want to fight them all.
"He [Porter] wasn't the only option out there. He was just the one who took the fight. I wanted Amir Khan, Danny Garcia, Maidana again, Lucas Mathysse.
"I want to fight them all. But right now we have Shawn Porter in front of us and we're going to take care of business and we'll see what's next."
On the threat posed by the all-action style of Porter, Broner added: "They say he's strong. They say he comes like a bulldozer. Whatever they bring to the table on June 20, I'm ready."
