Amir Khan: 'I can fight Floyd Mayweather Jr in September'

Amir Khan has claimed that he would be open to meeting Floyd Mayweather Jr in Las Vegas this September.

The Brit has repeatedly admitted that he is eager to meet the undefeated American, who beat Manny Pacquiao on points on Saturday night, but the timing was believed to be an issue.

Mayweather has suggested that he will retire after fighting in September, and Khan insists that he will be able to prepare for the fight after Ramadan, which ends on July 17 this year.

"I'm not ruling out fighting in September because it's possible that it could happen," Khan told reporters.

"Mayweather only fights in mid-September and Ramadan will be a little earlier this year, which helps. It gives me enough time to get the training done. So it can happen in September."

Khan was identified as an ideal candidate to meet Mayweather by the American's father at the weekend.
