Amir Khan is adamant that he will fight the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather within a year.

WBA and IBF light-welterweight champion Amir Khan has said that he will fight Floyd Mayweather ‘within six to nine months’.

The Bolton boxer has eyed a match with the American for some time and is confident that he will face the unbeaten the 34-year-old.

"The fight will happen definitely - it'll happen within the next six to nine months," he told The Guardian.

"I can see a lot of things in my armoury that would beat Floyd - he will take a lot of shots and he will get beat. Floyd Mayweather is beatable - I think definitely he's beatable.

"Because of the money involved it could never be here [in the UK]. There's too much money in America. America is 50 times bigger than England."

Khan will defend his titles against Lamont Peterson in December.
