AMIR Khan has pledged to make a comeback — and he wants to fight Floyd Mayweather.
The Bolton boxer recently called for Mayweather to come out of retirement, believing he has a chance to be the first to beat the fighter, arguably one of the greatest of all time.
Taking to Twitter, Khan said: "I know it’s been a year I’ve not fought due to hand surgery. I’m ready to make comeback at 30 years of age.
"Say what you like Canelo was getting out-boxed. I was winning on cards. He had power and caught me with a huge right. That's boxing. Mayweather doesn’t have the power.

It would be the 30-year-old's first fight since May last year when he was knocked out by Canelo Alvarez.
Mayweather recently extended his unbeaten run to 50-0 when he defeated reigning UFC Lightweight Champion Conor McGregor.
