Description
On 23 May 2012, ESPN announced that Khan would next fight against the undefeated American Danny García for the WBC title. At the pre-fight press conference on 4 June, Khan and García's fathers got into a heated exchange resulting in both fighters promising to knock the other out on 14 July. Khan also stated his desire to move up to the 147 lbs division if successful against García, for potential bouts with high-profile boxers like Floyd Mayweather and Timothy Bradley, although Bradley has previously rejected a fight with Khan in order for a fight against Manny Pacquiao. At the time the fight was announced, WBC were unsure whether to sanction the fight, as García had a mandatory defence due against Ajose Olusegun. The fight was scheduled to take place on 14 July 2012, in Las Vegas.

Result Description
Undefeated underdog Danny Garcia of Philadelphia claimed his second world title in as many fights by scoring a fifth-round TKO win of Amir Khan (26-2) to add Khan's WBA Super World Light Welterweight Title to his WBC Light Welterweight title which he defended.

Amir Khan looked sharp in the opening two rounds, landing crisp shots in between Garcia's wider punches. By the end of Round 2, Garcia had a very small cut above his right eye below the eyebrow on the lid which ultimately was not a factor in the bout.

The momentum swung in an instant in the third when Garcia landed a single, looping counter left hook in the final 30 seconds to the left side of Khan's neck which sent Khan down hard. He got to his feet quickly, but was badly staggered. Khan was able to tie up Garcia and block to survive the remainder of the round.

Khan was ruled down early in Round 4 when a punch sent him off balance and appeared to cause his glove to touch the mat. A left hook to the top of the head, followed by a right sent Khan down for a second time in the round. He got to his feet and indicated to referee Kenny Bayless that he was OK to continue, but Bayless called an end to the fight as Khan's wobbly legs did not appear to be fully under him.

Garcia had predicted a knockout of Khan in the third round. He came close, as Khan never recovered from the third round knockdown.
