Amir Khan has confirmed that he is no longer in talks to fight Manny Pacquiao.
The
British boxer was in negotiations with Pacquiao, who is set to return
to training before the end of the year, after surgery on his right
shoulder.
Pacquiao had expressed interest in fighting Khan, but he
appears to have made a u-turn, as speculations grow about a rematch
with Floyd Mayweather Jnr.
Khan told The National: “I’m really disappointed in Manny and his
team. They aren’t playing ball. All that was left to do is to sign the
contract. But they are stalling.
“I have pulled out of the negotiations. I am no longer fighting Manny Pacquiao.
“They
know I am a tricky fight for him and they know I will beat him. Or
else, why pull out of a fight when there is a lot of money on the table?
“I
don’t really know if Mayweather is fighting Pacquiao again. It is a
possible reason for him to stall on signing the contract, but I don’t
really know.”
