I didn't realise there are only 9 and a half weeks left until September 12 and we still haven't had confirmation of who he is fighting next. I know 8 weeks should be more than enough time for his opponent to prepare for a fight but you'd expect an announcement shortly especially if there is to be a couple of press conferences beforehand.

He's fighting Khan on PBC, he just announced on his Shots app. -
LOL JK.

I would think [hope] that whoever he is fighting already knows it and they are already making their preparations and they're just waiting to announce it. I agree with you though, they are running out of time for promotions and stuff like that - unless he really is fighting someone like Mayfield and they just don't care.Comment

My guess is this week.
They announced Maidana 2 on July 10th.Comment

When an absolutely unnecessary rematch with Maidana can be promoted in 8 weeks time, they'll do a decent job promoting his Sept fight as well.Originally posted by Bram View PostComment

If it is Khan then he isn't giving anything away. He was in my neck of the woods on the weekend on tour to raise money for an orphanage he is building in Gambia. I asked him whether the fight with Mayweather was going to happen and he joked by saying "If the fight doesn't happen me and you will fight instead."Originally posted by Bram View Post
Came across as a really cool guy. He also said he'll find another opponent if it doesn't happen.
