Amir Khan, 30-3 (19 KOs), has turned down an eliminator against Tim Bradley that would have determined who became the mandatory for the IBF welterweight title, currently held by Kell Brook.

Khan, 28, had previously reached out to Boxing Scene to categorically refute the claims.

However, the IBF Championships Chairman confirmed that Khan had indeed been offered the fight with Bradley and that it had been rejected on his behalf by his team.

“Amir Khan’s people turned down the fight. Bradley accepted,” Tucker told BoxingScene. [Click Here To Read More]

I don't blame Khan for turning it down because it would be stupid to become mandatory and only get 20% in a fight he could get at least 50%....

But why lie about it, that's weak.

Good thread for all those who called Rafael a liar to apologise.

Khan's the A-side in a Brook fight why would he need an eliminator.

[MasterPlan]

His team didn't inform him.

Obviously he would get more than that if the fight ever happened.

Bradley is in a much worse position because he doesn't draw too good on his own and it would probably be a fight Hearn wouldn't be too keen to make.

khan needs an opponent everyone says he can just fight brook but hes not willing so why not fight bradley or broner
