Danny Garcia: "I'm a killer"

Unified world champion Danny Garcia has described himself as a "killer" following his defeat of Amir Khan last night.

The American stopped Khan in the fourth after delivering a left hook that left the Bolton fighter reeling from the end of the third.

Garcia, who now boasts an unbeaten record of 24-0, said: "I always knew I was going to win this fight and I'm now a unified champion at 140lbs.

"I needed a great fighter in front of me to show how good a fighter I am.

"Now everyone knows. I'm a killer. I will fight anyone, anywhere, anytime."

Khan started the fight the better and was ahead after two rounds with Garcia suffering a cut to the right eye.

"We knew Khan was going to come out fast because he thought I had no power but I waited and stepped up to use the power and speed I have, and it worked," Garcia added.

"I was going to fight until the death, just like he did. Now I want to continue to fight the best."

Khan was taken to hospital in Las Vegas for precautionary scans but has recently been given the thumbs-up to return to his camp.
