London Mayor Sadiq Khan is ready to bring the sports world to his city.

He said Thursday that he wants London to be the "sporting capital of the world," per Caoimhe O'Neill and Omar Garrick of The Athletic.

While the city is hosting the Champions League final at Wembley Stadium between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund on Saturday and will be under the spotlight this summer with events such as Wimbledon, he stressed his desire for "more international events" such as the Super Bowl, WrestleMania and boxing showdowns.

"I want (Anthony) Joshua and (Daniel) Dubois to take place in London," Khan said.
