Khan: Algieri is A-Class Opponent, I Want it at Barclays

As previously reported, former WBO junior welterweight champion Chris Algieri (20-1, 8KOs) was announced as the next opponent for British superstar Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs). Khan personally revealed that he's fighting Algieri next.

The fight is going to take place on May 23rd or May 30th. And Khan states the fight is going to head to Algieri's backyard of New York City. Khan has not fought in New York since making his American debut with a TKO win over Brooklyn fighter Paulie Malignaggi in 2010. That fight was held in Madison Square Garden in Manhattan. Khan wants the Algieri fight at the Barclays Center located in Brooklyn.

"The next opponent will be Chris Algieri. We'll be taking that fight at 147 pounds. He's from New York. He's had 21 fights. Only lost one fight. He's the same height as me. He's 5'10". Ranked number 8 in the world. You know his last fight, which he lost, which is the only fight he lost was against Manny Pacquiao - which was in Macau. That fight led Pacquiao to go on and fight Floyd Mayweather," Khan said.

"He's a former WBO world champion and he beat Ruslan Provodnikov, who is an amazing fighter as well. He's beaten the likes of Emmanuel Taylor, another good fighter. You can class him as an A-class opponent. He just fell short against Manny Pacquiao.":dahell::mjlol:

"So yeah, we're looking at fighting in, I like New York. I think New York is a great venue for me. Having that fight in New York will be good for me because of the UK fans, because it will give them a chance to travel and it wont be as far as Vegas. I haven't fought there since Paulie Malignaggi, which was a great performance. That was in Madison Square Garden. But this time I'd like to fight in the Barclays Center. I haven't had a chance to fight over there. I'm looking forward to getting this fight announced officially by my manager Al Haymon. I think its the right fight for me."

I don't understand how Chris Algieri can still show his face in public after that ass whoopin Pacman gave him


thats the type of beat down that sends a fighter into retirement

From a business game standpoint Algieri is winning. Even if he loses to Khan, he can go back down and get the fights a lot of people think he should be in. He turned a close fight vs. Provodnikov to Pacquiao and Khan, both million dollar paydays.
Fans may be disappointed, but the blame would deserve to be on Khan for taking an opponent some may feel isn't worthy. How could Algieri not accept these fights? These fights and money may never be offered again. He can always go back down to club level fights again.

I guess now he thinks since Manny got the Floyd fight beating Algieri, he can too :russ:

Stay busy fight I suppose, but he better fight a Brook or Thurman in his next fight and Ramadan can't be used as an excuse.

If the Pac/May fight plays out like it should do (easy Floyd win) then Khan probably has Pac lined up for himself in November. Makes sense for Khan, If i remember correctly, Arum said he'd been talking to team Khan as a back up option while the floyd fight was stalling for May. Floyd fights in sept - thats too close to Ramadan (July) and November/Dec is usually when Pac fights. Pac would be willing to come to Wembley stadium no doubt.
This isnt a justification for Khan being a bytch though. Dude is a talented clown:francis:
