If WBO/WBA/WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. is planning to fight in September - it won't be against Amir Khan.
Last Saturday night, Mayweather won a twelve round unanimous decision over Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
After the match, Mayweather stated that he wants to fight in September to close out his CBS/Showtime contract.
Leonard Ellerbe, adviser to Mayweather, spoke to Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs) after the contest. Khan said Ellerbe is interested in making a fight, but September won't work because Khan will be fasting for Ramadan - which is why Khan didn't fight Mayweather last September.
"I think I know how to beat him and I'd be ready for him," Khan told Mlive.com. "September, I can't do. That hasn't changed. But I talked to Leonard Ellerbe after the fight and I know they're interested. It just depends on the schedule."
Khan is back on May 29th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, when he faces Chris Algieri in a Spike TV televised fight.
