Amir Khan showdown with Devon Alexander set for Las Vegas MGM Grand in December

[Mofo2]

Amir Khan's showdown with Devon Alexander has been confirmed for December 13 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand.

 

Khan has been out of the ring since May and aims to beat the former IBF welterweight king and prove he deserves a crack at Floyd Mayweather Junior in 2015.

"Getting back in the ring is all I've been looking towards these last few months," said the former WBA and IBF light-welterweight king, who is already training

with Virgil Hunter in California.

 

"I want to show everybody that I'm a major force at 147 pounds and I'm ready to take on the best.

"This fight with Alexander has been on the table for a while, but it is finally happening and I plan on winning impressively to show that I am truly one of the best welterweights in the world."

 

Khan rejected a clash with Alexander 12 months ago when he was the IBF champ and the American is determined to make him pay for that snub.

"I've wanted this fight for a long time and I'm ready to show that I'm worthy of this opportunity and the opportunities ahead after I win on December 13," said Alexander.

 

"I've worked hard my entire life and now the pressure is on to really show what I can do."

If he puts on a good performance like he did in May surely that put him in line for a shot at Mayweather next year

khan with a size advantage is normally money. he cant have one of those wheels falling off down the stretch type of fights he needs a zab judah performance to really heat  a mayweather fight  

 

khan/brook or khan/thurmond next yr is more realistic most likely

I'd like to see khan vs golovkin

Possibly, but Floyd doesn't seem to want the fight!!

I'm favoring Khan also, but you have to admit if he looses to Alexander he is pretty much done. And then to make it worst Mayweather fights Alexander next

Really??  He said he wanted to fight him last year........

He said he wanted to fight Manny!!
