Amir Khan and Adrien Broner have both suggested that they are willing to face each other next as their exchange on Twitter gains more attention.

Khan has previously revealed that he will announce his next fight in the coming week, with the likes of Miguel Cotto and Juan Manuel Marquez touted as possible opponents.
However, it appears as though Broner has now skipped his way past them to the top of the list and the two seem keen on a meeting in the ring.
The American defeated John Molina on the opening night of the ‘Premier Boxing Champions’ series last Saturday, and he has even insisted that he would be ready to step back in the ring as early as the end of this month.
That looks unlikely, and he even suggested on Twitter that him and Khan should be the co-main event on May 2 on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao,
While that again also looks unlikely, it appears as though the fight is gaining traction and talks will potentially continue between the two camps moving forward.
It isn’t a particularly exciting fight as Khan should have too much skill for Broner to deal with, and the general reaction on Twitter is that it isn’t a worthwhile fight for the Brit who should be aiming higher.
A domestic showdown with Kell Brook looks like it won’t happen this year, but if Khan is still harbouring hopes of facing either Mayweather or Pacquiao in 2015, it is up for debate as to whether a win over Broner will put him in a stronger position at all.
