Amir Khan hints at Adrien Broner interest

British welterweight Amir Khan believes that he would knock Adrien Broner out should the two face each other later this year.

Khan is looking for his next opponent after missing out on an opportunity to face Floyd Mayweather, and the former Olympic silver medallist has tweeted that he would not turn down the chance to fight American Broner.

If @AdrienBroner wants it let's do it. Maidana knocked him down twice. Il knock him out!

Broner is coming off a surprise loss to Marcos Maidana, who was confirmed earlier this week to be the next man to attempt to end the undefeated record of Mayweather.

Khan is expected to reveal details of his next fight within the next 14 days, with a return to the ring scheduled for early May.
