British star Amir Khan (30-3, 19 KOs) is brushing off the taunts coming from former three division world champion Adrien Broner (30-1, 22 KOs).
Khan returns on May 29th against Chris Algieri (20-1, 8 KOs) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The two fighters have been trading words for the last few weeks. Broner has continued to go after Khan on the social networks.
They share a mutual adviser/manager in Al Haymon. Khan says he went to Haymon to finalize a fight with Broner - even prior to locking in Algieri - and says Broner will talk the talk but he won't walk the walk by signing a contract.
"I think he just wants to jump on the bandwagon and get a little hype. I told my advisor to get me the fight with him before we even got the fight with Chris. Adrien to me seemed to not want the fight. In front of the cameras, he seems to want the fight. When it comes down to signing the contract, he doesn't want the fight," Khan said. "Adrien didn't want it, so obviously I had to go on to someone else."
