Amir Khan has revealed that he would be interested in a future fight against Ricky Hatton. The Bolton fighter meets WBA light welterweight champion Andriy Kotelnik at the O2 Arena in London later this month, but has hinted at a possible fight against the Hitman.

“It would be a brilliant fight for fans to see our style. I’m a boxer, he’s a pressure fighter. But will leave it to the promoters. If it doesn’t come off, it does not bother me cause there will be huge fights in the future” said a confident Khan, who has been enjoying recent sparring sessions with pound for pound champion Manny Pacquiao.

Khan, has up until now, dismissed the thought of fighting his friend Hatton, but he must first find a way past the extremely tricky Kotelnik next. The Ukrainian fighter poses a big threat and will be keen to test Khan’s brittle chin.

However, as long as Khan makes it through and Hatton decides to carry on boxing we could be looking forward to one of the biggest British boxing fights in years.
