It looks like another
major contest may be on its way. Minutes ago Amir Khan tweeted he "would
love to fight @AdrienBroner next!" before adding "lets make it
happen."
This, presumably, was in
response to a Broner Instagram which claimed Broner "and Amir Khan can
fight at the end of this month." These words were, of course, accompanied
by a faux fight poster of Broner and Khan standing side by side, accompanied by
the title:
"ANYBODY CAN GET IT
- MEXI CAN AFRI CAN - PAKIS TAN"
While Broner's brash
statement will surely find a way to offend the easily offended crowd, Khan
wasted no time jumping at the opportunity. The man's been looking for a big
fight for ages and Broner is about as big a foe as he'll find outside of Floyd
and Manny.
Of course Khan is
fighting at welterweight now, while Broner is down at junior welterweight.
Still, it's not hard to see this fight becoming a reality - especially with PBC
looking to put major matchups on primetime network television.
Don't be surprised if
you see Khan and Broner starring in their own two man show on NBC in the very
near future.
