Amir Khan rises to Adrien Broner's bait, targets brash American next
Tuesday 10 March 2015 23:11, UK
Amir Khan says he would love trash-talking Adrien Broner to be his next opponent.
Broner has bounced back from losing his WBA welterweight title with three successive victories, the most recent a unanimous decision over John Molina Jr at the weekend.
The American posted a social media taunt on Tuesday claiming he would willingly "make a fool" out of Khan as early as the end of March, and the bait worked.
Writing on his Twitter page Khan said: "Would love to fight Adrien Broner next! #KhanvsBroner - let's make it happen."
Broner had earlier posted an Instagram message reading: "No disrespect to (Khan's trainer) Virgil Hunter - he is a great coach and I got endless love for him, but me and Amir Khan can fight at the end of this month.

Khan missed out on a shot at either Floyd Maywether or Manny Pacquiao when the old adversaries finally agreed to a May 2 megafight, and tentative talks with Kell Brook's promoter Eddie Hearn have so far come to nothing.
