Actually, Khan kind of indicated that he WOULD face Prescott eventually.

JENNA: Alright Amir since we’re talking about future opponents, one we haven’t mentioned yet is one that has an eliminator fight on September 10 against Paul McCloskey and that’s Breidis Prescott. Do you have any interest in having a rematch with him if somehow he comes out the winner in that match?

KHAN: First of all I really think McCloskey will beat him with that awkward style he carries in the fight, but yeah definitely! I’m not one to be scared of that fight. I mean I think we all know if that fight ever happened again there would be one winner, but there are so many big names now around the 140 pound division that I don’t want to lose time and position where I can face them but then if I fight Prescott I’ll miss that chance in fighting them. There are bigger names out there for me that I want to face like Bradley and Morales. If I take the fight against Prescott and beat him, then maybe Morales might not be there again because someone else might beat him, or maybe he might move up in weight, or maybe he might retire. You never know. I know Prescott will always be there. Even if he retired I know he’d come out of retirement to take a fight with me again. I really think I’m one step ahead and on the next level ahead really. I mean it would be like taking a step back and fighting him, but I’m not one to say no. I’d love that fight again and I know that it’s a fight if it happened I would destroy him. I mean it would be one of them fights. If that fight is out there, and I know it’s always going to be there, so that’s why I’m taking the fighters I want to fight first like Morales, and these other big names like Maidana, and I want to fight Bradley because these names might not be there again. Prescott will always be there.

JENNA: Now you say Prescott will always be there, but deep down do you ever have that need to avenge that loss just because of the way you were defeated in that match against Prescott?

KHAN: You know things happen for a reason and I really think that was for the best. I think I wouldn’t be in this position if that didn’t happen, but even if that fight didn’t happen I think everyone knows that was a blessing in disguise, but you know I’d love that fight. I’d want to beat him and prove to everyone, look it was a mistake that I made and I paid for it and look how I’ve come back. I’ve come back faster and stronger. Yeah at the end of the day everyone messages me on Twitter and says they don’t think I should fight him because I’m way past his league and stuff, but maybe there’s one thing in me where I want to avenge that defeat. So in the future that fight will happen.
