The British star Amir Khan does not expect to have more trouble organizing another big fight in the future.
Khan was very upset after suffering a defeat against TKO in the sixth round on Saturday, when he faced WBO welterweight champion Terence Crawford at Madison Square Garden in New York.
Khan, who had fallen in the first round, saw the match end in a very strange situation after being hit hard. Khan's coach, Virgil Hunter, asked the boxer when he was able to continue, and Khan said that the blow had left him in extreme pain – which prompted Hunter to call the fight.
Crawford accused Khan of quitting, claiming that the Bolton boxer had refused to take the full five minutes to recover and had retired from the fight instead.
"I do not want to end my career like that, I certainly do not want it," Khan told BBC Sport. "I want to spend time with my family from time to time and then see. But I'm 32 years old and I think I have a lot more in me. I like sport as I have always done.
"It's not my last fight. Not at all. Certainly man, you'll see me again. "
Khan, 32, suffered his fifth defeat and it was the fourth by way of stoppage.
But he is confident in his ability to secure global title opportunities.
"I will always have fights for the world title," Khan said. "I will always have the opportunity to fight for world titles, so yes, I think it will always be there."
And of course, the biggest fight is still there, a confrontation with his national rival Kell Brook, who was on the edge of the fire to watch Khan fight against Crawford.
Although Brook claims that the fight is dead, Khan does not believe it.
"Brook's fight will still be there and I think he'll always be there," Khan said. "I really believe this fight is here."
