London, Sep.22 (ANI): Brit Muslim boxer Amir Khan believes his bout with American pugilist Floyd Mayweather Junior will take place within the next "six to nine months".
Predicting that the clash could become the richest fight in history, Khan, who is the WBA and IBF light-welterweight champion, said he is "99%" certain to fight Lamont Peterson next on 10 December, probably in New York or Washington.
Asked if Khan-Mayweather could happen after that bout, the Guardian quoted him as saying: "It can. And listen I'm ready to fight [him]. I can see a lot of things in my armoury that would beat Floyd."
He added: "I think definitely he's beatable. The fight will happen definitely - it'll happen within the next nine months - six to nine months."
Khan said that as he and Mayweather have similar styles, the contest could be a technical showdown.
Mayweather had said he would only take on Khan if he first beat one of his own fighters, Jessie Vargas, but he later admitted that this was just a joke to help promote the 22-year-old.
Depending on the potential timing of the clash with Mayweather, who took his unbeaten record to 42 by knocking out the WBC welterweight champion, Victor Ortiz, in Las Vegas at the weekend, Khan may fight once more beforehand, potentially in the UK at welterweight. (ANI)
