Amir Khan reveals that he plans to move up in weight to improve his chances of facing Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather.

Amir Khan has revealed that he is planning to move up a weight division following his fight with Danny Garcia in July.

The British fighter faces Garcia for the WBC light-welterweight title but is expecting to move up to the 147lb mark in order to improve the possibility of facing Manny Pacquiao or Floyd Mayweather.

Khan told Sky Sports News: "My plan is to move up to 147 and face one of the big names up there.

"You've got Victor Ortiz, you've got Manny and Mayweather.

""There are super names there so I'll be in that mix and we'll sit down with [trainer] Freddie Roach and see what route we're going to take with the big names."

Khan's fight with Garcia was scheduled following Lamont Peterson's failed drugs test before the planned rematch between the two.
