Amir Khan believes bout against Mayweather 'can happen' in September despite Ramadan pledge

Britain two-time world champion Amir Khan believes that the speculated bout against unbeaten American boxing champion Floyd Mayweather can happen in September, despite his commitments to Ramadan.

Amir, the youngest British Olympic boxing medalist, had earlier said that Ramadan, a month when practicing Muslims observe fasting during daylight hours to learn self-discipline, might disrupt his training for facing Mayweather, who insists September bout will be his last fight.

Since Ramadan is a little bit earlier, from mid-June to mid-July, this year, Amir believes that it would give him enough time to get the training done, and therefore the fight against the American could happen in September, the BBC reported.

Amir claimed on Sunday that he had been asked by Mayweather's manager to "get a fight on" against the undisputed welterweight champion, who defeated Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas in the 'fight of the century' bout.

However, Amir insisted that he is focused purely on his upcoming bout against Chris Algieri on May 29. He said that he couldn't take the fight lightly, adding that losing it would ruin his dreams to fight the biggest names in boxing.

Amir added that he was not going to be fighting Mayweather until he wins the fight against Algieri.
