Amir Khan has claimed that Devon Alexander is not on the same level as him ahead of their bout in Las Vegas next Saturday.

The British fighter is hoping that a victory will put him on course to meet Floyd Mayweather Jr next year, and he is confident that he has more than enough weapons to beat Alexander, who is a former WBC and IBF light-welterweight champion and a former IBF welterweight champion.

"I have the better punch power and the better knock-out percentage," Khan told Ringside. "I have a little bit more experience, I believe, in this fight.

"So it's going to be tough but it's a fight that favours me more because if it becomes a boxing match I can out-box Devon. He's a good boxer but he's not on the same level as me.

"I feel strong at this 147 weight plus I have Virgil Hunter in my corner telling me what game-plan to stick to and what technique to use in the fight. I've got a great team around me as well so I've not missed anything out."

Khan secured a third successive victory by beating Luis Collazo in his last fight in May.
