British star Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs) is still holding out hope for a the opportunity to face WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (48-0, 26KOs) on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
If Mayweather decides to fight someone else, Khan says there is no chance that he's face domestic rival, IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (34-0, 25KOs) before the year is out.Khan will instead pursue a return date, in the United States, in November or December. He plans to speak with his adviser, Al Haymon, in the coming days to discuss the options for the fall and to obtain a status on the Mayweather fight.
"If I don't get the September fight I'd like to be back out again in November or December like normal. I'll be looking at those dates instead. But if I don't get the Mayweather fight there is still no chance whatsoever that I will fight Kell Brook before the end of the year. It will have to be a big one and I'll leave it to Al Haymon. Al will give me a call this week hopefully to let me know who it will be. It will probably be back in the States again," Khan told Sport 360.
