Jeff Horn targets Amir Khan fight

By Daily Sports on February 10, 2018

WBO welterweight champion Jeff Horn (18-0-1, 12 KOs) says he’s interested in fighting Amir ‘King’ Khan (31-4, 19 KOs) if he can comeback from his loss to Saul Canelo Alvarez.

Khan has a comeback fight scheduled against Phil Lo Greco on April 21 in Liverpool, England.

“Why not say that I would fight another English fighter,” Horn said to skysports.com. “It’s definitely a possibility and on my radar all the time. I hope he does well, but I don’t know if he’s still got it in him or not,” Horn said.

Horn successfully defended his World Boxing Organization welterweight title last December in stopping British fighter Gary Corcoran in the 11th round in Brisbane, Australia. That was far from an easy fight for Horn, but he got the ‘W’ and was able to move on his next title defense against the 30-year-old Crawford.

Khan’s promoter Eddie Hearn is very unlikely to consider matching him up against Horn in his second fight of his comeback after his April 21st match against Phil Lo Greco (28-3, 15 KOs).

Hearn’s goal is to keep Khan winning until he can put together a fight against former IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook in December on Sky Box Office.
