Boxer, Amir Khan, 28, is desperate to fight
lightweight world champion, Floyd Mayweather, 38, who has not lost a
single fight to date. Mayweather has been toying with Khan. It
mushroomed into a social networking fight last year, when Mayweather
chose Marcos Maidana in Khan's stead, handily beating him in Las
Vegas.
Amir Khan wearing a Floyd Mayweather mask while mocking him
Mayweather is now eyeing up a battle against top
rival, Manny Pacquiao, 37, leaving Khan upset once again. After
Mayweather flatly stated Khan's name holds no weight, the boxer
donned a mask of his rival and stated, "Shut up and fight me." You
tell Mayweather stuff like that, it just may turn into a street
fight (LOL). Khan needs to fight fellow Brit, Kell Brook, as it would
be a good match-up and he is keen to enter the ring against him.

16:21 EST, 15 January 2015 - Amir Khan has staged a tongue-in-cheek
'come and fight me' plea to Floyd Mayweather Jnr as the American
pound-for-pound king closes in on a multi-million dollar fight with
Manny Pacquiao. It is understood undefeated five-division world
champion Mayweather is ready to complete terms with Pacquiao's
promoter Bob Arum in Los Angeles on Friday for a May 2 superfight.
But Briton Khan is keen to muscle in, attempting to
goad the 37-year-old WBC and WBA welterweight champion into taking
him on instead of the 36-year-old Filipino WBO holder. In a video
seen exclusively by Sportsmail from boxing suppliers RDX, Khan
comically dons a facemask of Mayweather and holds out a wad of money
in hand.
He then attempts to goad his illusive opponent
further, whilst pointing at a giant wall projection spelling out
'Who are ya?' as he looks to up the pressure on the American to give
in and fight him. Despite the Bolton hero's best efforts, Mayweather
is likely to snub Khan and give boxing fans the bout they have
long-awaited...
