Amir Khan to FightHype.com: “First of all, the fight with Algieri is not confirmed yet. Even if it was, I can’t believe the people who are talking shit. At the end of the day, I did say that I want to fight the top guys. Obviously I can’t fight Floyd or Manny, so Miguel Cotto was another guy I wanted, but he’s going on to fight someone else. Broner said he’d fight me, so I said let’s do it, but I heard that Broner don’t want it either…Just look at my last 10 opponents, regardless if I won or lost, and then look at Kell’s. Eddie and Kell are fooling the fans, using my name and saying I’m afraid. All I’m saying is Kell still need to prove himself by fighting A-class fighters like I have done,” stated former world champion Amir Khan, who responded to critics who questioned his decision not to face Kell Brook in a proposed June 13 showdown.

AMIR KHAN DISPUTES REPORTS OF TURNING DOWN IBF ELIMINATOR WITH TIM BRADLEY: “I GOT NO NOTICE FROM THE IBF”

“That’s bullshit. That’s the first I’ve heard of that. My advisor hasn’t said anything about that. It’s funny how Eddie Hearn is saying that I’m not taking the fight with Bradley when everyone knows a Bradley fight is what I always wanted. I wanted the fight with Bradley a long, long time ago,” stated former world champion Amir Khan, who disputed a claim by promoter Eddie Hearn that he turned down an opportunity to face former welterweight champion Timothy Bradley in an IBF eliminator to determine Kell Brook’s next mandatory challenger. According to Khan, who wasn’t even aware that he was ranked by the IBF, he was never notitified about a potential fight with Bradley.
