Amir Khan once again set his sights on a fight with pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather after claiming a unanimous points win over battling American Chris Algieri in New York on Friday night.
Khan came into the welterweight bout at the Barclays Center as a heavy favourite but was made to work hard against Algieri before being handed the decision 117-111 by two of the judges with the third scoring it 115-113.
Mayweather has stated he will fight only once more in September and Khan, who thought he had a bout with the American lined up last year, reiterated his desire to take on the undefeated WBA and WBC champion.
