British boxer Amir Khan claims approaching his peak post defeating Devon Alexander

British two-time world champion boxer Amir Khan has said that he is approaching his peak after he bagged a unanimous points victory over Devon Alexander.

Khan is targeting a bout against Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao after retaining his WBC Silver welterweight title in Las Vegas and he is confident that he could beat either man.

The Bolton-born fighter said that he feels better at 28 than he did at 26, adding that he is hitting his peak and getting better as a fighter. He claimed that he can't wait to show the world what he has, The BBC reported.

Khan also said that this victory puts him in a great position now to fight the biggest names of boxing, the likes of Mayweather and Pacquiao, claiming that that's where he belongs.

Khan may have to wait until after 2 May to fight either opponent as American five-weight world champion Mayweather has mentioned that date for a fight against Filipino Pacquiao, who has won world titles in eight weight divisions.

That could become the richest bout in boxing history and Khan believes that contest would suit Mayweather more than a fight against him. He said that stylistically, he thinks that Mayweather does not want him because he has that style which causes the American big problems.

But, Khan said that it's up to Mayweather now, adding that the ball is in his court. He said that he would leave it to his team and the American to get that fight done.
