Amir Khan has told the BBC he is keen on a rematch with Breidis Prescott, the Colombian boxer who knocked him out in under a minute last September.

Bolton lightweight Khan, 22, defeated Mexican legend Marco Antonio Barrera in Manchester on Saturday.

"I'm sure Prescott might be on the shortlist because we made a mistake in that fight which we won't make again," Khan told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"Against Prescott we made that little mistake and we had to pay for it."

Prescott, 25, brought Khan's run of 18 consecutive pro wins to an end with a brutal 54-second knockout six months ago, but has since fought only once.

Prescott, who is 21 fights undefeated, beat Humberto Toledo of Ecuador by way of disqualification in February.

It does seem an unlikely move that Warren would make but who are we to guess, the guy just put Khan up against Barerra which was a huge risk.

Well Prescott mauled him, so Khan must have felt embarrassed and want revenge for that but as far as I am concerned Prescott is better but then again I still thought Barerra would be too much for him.

Khan has learned a lot from Freddie Roach, his last coach simply threw him into the deep end.

Roach has ltaught him the most basic of skills that he was't doing before, keeping his hands up after throwing to protect his glass jaw.
