Britain's Amir Khan says that he would like to fight Argentinian boxer Lucas Matthysse.

Amir Khan has said that he would be keen to fight Lucas Matthysse after watching the Argentine knock out Lamont Peterson.

Matthysse will fight Danny Garcia later in the year, with Khan a likely opponent for the winner of that bout.

The 26-year-old told Sky Sports News: "I'd love to [fight Matthysse]. When [Marcos] Maidana was knocking everyone out I went in there and beat him. My style will suit Matthysse and I'd definitely go in with him.

"People talk about a glass chin, but Peterson got dropped by me, knocked out by Matthysse, does that mean he has a glass chin?

"The 140 division is the most exciting division and it's made me want to stay in it. I've said I'm going to move up to 147 but I've not made that move yet. I want to mix it with these guys."

The Briton beat Julio Diaz last month.
