"Amir Khan says he has no intention of fighting Marco Antonio Barrera again saying such a bout would not prove anything.
Khan saw off the Mexican legend with a fifth-round TKO win in March after Barrera suffered a cut in a clash of heads.
Barrera’s camp want to take on the 22-year-old Bolton fighter again but Khan has ruled out any rematch, despite Don King’s claims that the fight should have been stopped when his man was cut and declared a no contest.
“There is no point in fighting Barrera again,” lightweight Khan was quoted as saying by The Sun.
“Before I boxed him there were experts lining up to tell me I shouldn’t fight him because he was a dangerous big puncher. After I beat him those experts said Barrera was over the hill.
“So if I beat an over-the-hill fighter again what would it mean - nothing.”
Khan’s next fight is scheduled for June 27, with David Diaz the preferred opponent and London’s O2 the likely venue."
HMmmmmmmmmmmm
