Former world champion Amir Khan is still plotting his return to the boxing ring.
Khan (34-5, 21 KOs) has been out of the ring for nearly two years - with his last fight taking place in July 2019 with a stoppage of Billy Dib.
"I want to be back in the ring towards the end of the year definitely, it could be October, November time. I’m back in training again," Khan told Last Stand Podcast with Brian Custer.
The biggest opportunity for Khan is likely a showdown with domestic rival Kell Brook - which he still believes will be a big ticket.
"I knew it would be a big fight in the UK, but I was chasing Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao, and I was making more money in America to be honest with you that’s why….Plus with all the negative things he was saying, bad mouthing he was doing I kind of wanted to teach a lesson a little bit as well. Like look you might be champion but you’re still not going to fight me I’m my own champion, obviously you needed a name like me so he needed me more than I needed him," Khan said.
"We’re both British, and Kell always runs his mouth and I think a lot of people want to just see me shut his mouth….When there’s drama involved, and there’s a bit of a story behind it, you know it’s only going to sell even bigger."
The biggest fight in the welterweight division would be a unification between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence - with Khan siding with his former foe, Crawford, to win the fight.
"What wins him the fight against Spence in my opinion is the boxing skills he has and the patience. He will make you wait, and he counters well, his speed and his power," Khan said.
And Khan is also backing his countryman, WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, to stop Deontay Wilder in next month's trilogy fight.
"I got Fury winning again because I think by knocking him out in the second fight, I think he shows that there are weaknesses that Wilder has. I think he going to try to capitalize on them and he going to try to go straight in there for the knockout again," Khan said.
