Amir Khan with Ricky Hatton eyeing all-British fight


Champion Amir Khan has refused to rule out an all British super fight with Ricky Hatton.

Bolton's Khan told that a fight against his local rival would make "business sense".

However, Hatton has not boxed since losing to Manny Pacquiao in June 2009 so it remains unprobably that in the near future any fight will happen.

"I'm not sure if Ricky has retired but if the fight did happen it would be huge," Khan said.

In the UK at the end of the year Khan has alternatively turned his attention to defending his crown against another opponent.

"I'm looking at Juan Manuel Marquez, Marcos Rene Maidana or Victor Ortiz in December," he added. "I always promised the fans that I'm going to bring big fights to England and that's what I'm hoping for."

Another name to enter Khan's radar is former undisputed welterweight champion Zab Judha.

New Yorker Judha, 32, has dropped back down to the 140lb weight class and is confident of cleaning up the division.

Khan said, "Zab's a good fighter, he's tough and has a nice style. The fight he fought currently wasn't his best but he won convincingly". "That could definitely be a fight in the future for me."
