WBA light-welterweight champion Amir Khan has revealed that his proposed fight with WBC and WBO man Timothy Bradley is ready and waiting for the American to sign.
Khan who beat Irishman Paul McCloskey earlier this month to set up a mega unification fight in July told On The Ropes Boxing Radio that he and his US promoters Golden Boy have reached out to Bradley’s camp to make the fight.
‘I’ve spoken to Golden Boy and told them what I want and who I want to fight. They’re pushing the Timothy Bradley fight for me,’ said Khan. ‘I mean HBO wants the fight. I think the whole world wants to see the two best light-welterweights fight each other.’
‘I’ve put my mouth on the line. Now it’s up to Timothy Bradley to take the fight and come back to us really. I’m only 24 and I want to be one of the youngest-ever to unify the division.
‘We are just waiting for the answer from Bradley. A lot of people might say it was Amir not wanting the fight, but it’s me who wants the fight and we’re not getting answers back from Bradley’s team.’
Khan also took the opportunity to compare styles with his fellow champion claiming that a fight between himself and Bradley would be nothing like the ‘bore-fest’ served up in Bradley’s encounter with Devon Alexander.
‘When I fight Bradley everyone will be on the edge of their seats because I bring excitement to the ring and that’s why we sell out arenas in England and have a lot of fans worldwide,’ said Khan.
Where is lil Timmeh hiding? come out of hiding lil Timmeh!

HBO will have already told them how much they are willing to offer, Khan thinks he can dictate terms to the unified champ and #1 in the division. I guarantee Khan will walk away when Bradley asks for 50/50.
