AMIR KHAN TELLS MAYWEATHER TO CUT OUT THE MIND GAMES AND ANNOUNCE WHO HIS NEXT OPPONENT IS By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Wed, 15 Jul 2015  WBC welterweight Silver champion Amir Khan has challenged undefeated pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr to cut out the mind games and announce who his next opponent is for his reported final bout on September 12 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Ls Vegas. Mayweather earlier indicated he would fight Andre Berto or Karim Mayfield but the New Standard/boxingmirror.com leaned that it would be Berto although either choice has been widely criticized as too easy a fight for Mayweather. The Daily Star of London reports that Khan is desperate to be named the opponent of Mayweather but is still no closer to getting the nod and has accused the pound for pound king of being unprofessional and blasted him saying ?I just don?t know why he?s playing these little games. I think its just unprofessional realy from a person like Floyd Mayweayher who is renowned as one of the best fighters ever.? The fromer Olympic silver medalist added, ?he is playing these little games just to look for every advantage that he can get. But I?m not going to let it get to me. I?m just going to keep calm and collected.? A somewhat desperate Khan posed the question, ?why not just be a man, say who you?re going to fight and get it done. Stop playing these little games? suggesting that maybe Mayweather was making him wait and distracting him and ?making sure I am not focused on what my job is, so I?m not in the gym and he?ll catch me off guard. But that?s not going to happen. I?m always in the gym and I always keep myself fit. I don?t think that will affect me in any way.? Although he is fasting because of Ramadan, Khan uses a leeway given him by hitting the gym at midnight to train, hoping that Mayweather will eventually call him out but right now it appears to be a long shot.
