Devon Alexander has insisted that Amir Khan knows that he can’t afford to overlook him when the pair meet in the ring in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
Khan continues to chase a fight with Floyd Mayweather next year and he believes that a comprehensive win over Alexander will grab the attention of the unbeaten superstar and force public demand for the fight.
It has been a long chase for the British star who has courted Mayweather for years, and while British boxing fans would ideally like to see him take on Kell Brook, it appears as though the American is still the priority for 2015.
However, Alexander has warned Khan that it will be a big mistake to overlook him this weekend as he also harbours hopes of going on to face the biggest names in a highly-talented welterweight division.
While Khan is considered the favourite on Saturday night, Alexander has the experience and pedigree to make it a closer fight than many expect, but it remains to be seen if the American can stop his rival in the main event on an exciting bill featuring the likes of Keith Thurman and Timothy Bradley.
