Amir Khan is chasing a rematch with Danny Garcia in 2013 and as challenged the WBC and WBA light-welterweight champion to take him on again this year. Khan is first expected to face Ricky Hatton conquror Vyacheslav Senchenko or possibly Victor Ortiz next.

Garcia will defend his light-welterweight titles against Zab Judah on 9 February, but Khan has urged the champion to face him again in his next fight after Zab.  Khan was knocked-out by Garcia in a shock defeat in July and the US fighter’s stock has risen since and Khan wants to put a wrong right by getting Garcia in the ring and shutting up his opponents father and trainer Angel Garcia who has irritated the Bolton boxer by questioning his punch resistance.


“He caught me with a great shot, he caught me with a big left hook that I didn’t recover from, so you know he’s going to say all sorts,” Khan told Sky Sports News.

“If he doesn’t think I have got a chin then why doesn’t he take the fight on again, against me. It should be an easy fight for Danny Garcia.

“I tell you one thing, if I didn’t have a chin, I don’t think I would get up from that first knockdown because it was a punch perfect shot he hit me with. After getting hit with that shot, I got hit by 20 clean punches.

“I mean if Amir Khan didn’t have a chin, I don’t think he would take those shots. So I don’t know what his Dad is going on about.”

Khan will stay busy by taking a fight while he waits for Garcia and possible opponents include Ricky Hatton’s recent conqueror Vyacheslav Senchenko.

Golden Boy promotions boss Richard Schaefer will hold talks with Khan before his next foe is announced later in the week.

“The Garcia fight could happen towards the end of the year because he’s fighting Zab Judah. That’s what I’m hoping for,” said Khan.

“There have been a few opponents I have been looking at. People have been talking about Josesito Lopez, there’s Victor Ortiz, there’s Senchenhko, the guy who beat Ricky Hatton.

“I’m one of those fighters who would fight anyone put in front of them. I’ve never said no to an opponent and I never will.”
