Amir Khan not interested in Floyd Mayweather fight as he focuses on upsetting Saul Alvarez

Amir Khan has insisted he would not be interested in fighting Floyd Mayweather if the American makes his expected return from retirement, even if he defeats Saul Alvarez to win the WBC middleweight title.

Khan challenges Mexico’s defending champion ‘Canelo’ Alvarez on Saturday at the new T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas when he is such an underdog, that victory would be among the greatest ever by a British fighter.

Mayweather has this week attracted significant attention since hinting at plans for a comeback and speaking of talks with American television networks CBS and Showtime, and if Khan were to hold a middleweight title where the 39-year-old is yet to fight, the potential money involved would be likely to get Mayweather’s attention.
