By William Mackay: WBO light welterweight champion Timothy Bradley (26-0, 11 KO’s) is willing to travel all the way to the UK to fight World Boxing Association light welterweight champion Amir Khan (24-1, 17 KO’s) if need be to make the fight happen. Hopefully, it won’t come to that to get a fight against Khan, because, after all, Khan said he had moved his operations to the United States because he wanted to make it big over there. How is he ever going to be a big star in the U.S market if he keeps going back to the UK to fight all the time?

Khan is fighting his next bout in the UK against a still to be determined opponent. But with Bradley basically volunteering to fight Khan in England, you can bet this is going to plant ideas in Khan’s head about having yet another fight in the UK. It really won’t matter where the fight takes place in terms of who will win it. I see Bradley as being much too tough and talented for Khan to deal with. This is actually going to be an easy fight for Bradley. Once he taps Khan’s chin, it’s going to be all over.

Speaking with Main Event radio program at allfm.org, Bradley said “I don’t mind traveling to the UK. I have done it before against Junior Witter and I am used to it.”

Bradley needs to not volunteer for stuff like this because it makes him seem kind of desperate. Instead, he should be the one calling the shots because Bradley is considered the best fighter in the entire division by many boxing fans and experts. Khan just came off of a life and death bout against Marcos Maidana where Khan was teetering on the brink of being stopped in the 10th and took tremendous punishment in the final three rounds of the bout. It wasn’t a fight that did much to disprove his reputation for having a glass jaw, although his fans seem to think it’s a feather in Khan’s cap that he didn’t get knocked out. The reality is Khan ran the entire fight and that’s one of the biggest reasons he didn’t get knocked out. His constant running, which eventually exhausted him, kept him from getting knocked out. He can’t depend on this kind of fighting for long because it requires youth and conditioning and most fighters can’t run for 12 rounds without eventually running out of gas and getting knocked out.

Before Bradley can think of fighting Khan, Bradley has to first defeat World Boxing Council light welterweight champion Devon Alexander on January 29th next month. If Bradley wins that fight, only then can he worry about Khan. He should win it, though. Alexander is flawed.
