Trainer Freddie Roach is already getting Amir Khan's prep working ready for a possible July fight with WBC/WBO junior welterweight champion Timothy Bradley. He said a Khan-Bradley fight is not capable of taking place on April 16 in England, but Bradley will be their opponent in the following fight. Roach missed Bradley's ten round technical decision win over Devon Alexander from last Saturday. Roach was busy working the corner of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Culiacan, Mexico.
Roach said he recorded the fight and plans to watch it soon. If they can't get a deal done with Bradley, Roach said there is no interest in having Khan fight Alexander.
"I have the fight recorded because I think Bradley might be our next opponent with Amir but I have no interest in Alexander. I'll watch it, but I wasn't too excited about that fight anyway," Roach told OnTheGrindBoxing.com.
