Boxing News: Danny Garcia willing to have rematch against Amir Khan

Danny Garcia of the United States defeated Amir Khan of the United Kingdom via knockout three years ago and the American stated that he’s willing to give the British boxer a rematch in the near future.

“Yeah, why not, why not,” Green said in an interview with boxingscene.com. “Khan’s probably the biggest name. If it happens, it happens. It’s going to be a big fight.”

Garcia beat Khan on July 14, 2012 when the American got the surprise technical knockout victory in just the fourth round of their lightweight championship match-up. Garcia completely dominated Khan knocking him down once in the third round and twice in the fourth and final round.

However, Khan (31-3-0, 19 knockouts) has since recovered from the embarrassing TKO loss notching five straight wins since that defeat. Khan is coming off a unanimous decision win over Chris Algieri last May when he notched the World Boxing Council silver welterweight belt.

Meanwhile, Garcia (31-0-0, 18 knockouts) has won seven straight fights since his TKO win over Khan. He remains undefeated in 31 career bouts and coming off a win over veteran boxer Paul Malignaggi, who went down via ninth round TKO. A Khan vs.

Garcia rematch will be one of the biggest in match-up in 2016 if ever both sides agree to a deal. Khan is currently ranked the third best welterweight in Ring Magazine’s rankings while Green is ranked 10th.
