Amir Khan feels a fight with Timothy Bradley will not happen as the American "knows that he will get beaten".
Bolton boxer "happy" to do any tests that Mayweather requests
Amir Khan feels a fight with Timothy Bradley to decide who is the undisputed light-welterweight king will not happen because the American "knows that he will get beaten".
Khan last weekend added the IBF belt to the WBA title he already owned by overcoming Zab Judah in their unification fight in Las Vegas.
Now he wants one more bout in his current division before moving up to welterweight for a potential clash with Floyd Mayweather in 2012.
WBC and WBO champion Bradley is Khan's preferred choice but having already pulled out of a fight once before after verbally agreeing to a deal, the British boxer is not expecting much further co-operation.
"I don't think the fight against Bradley will happen because I think he is scared to take it on," Khan said.
"He knows that he will get beaten, and where does he go from there?
"There are other big fights out there for me. In the future we will look at Mayweather, but there is also Erik Morales, or the winner of Marcos Maidana against Robert Guerrero.
"There are still a few names in the 140-pound division and I think I have one more fight in the division before moving up to 147 pounds where the bigger challenges are.
"The undisputed unified champion is something I've always wanted to be, but if the Bradley fight doesn't happen, then at least the world will know I wanted the fight and he pulled out.
"He was just running scared. I really think the organisations should strip him of the two titles he has at the moment and maybe vacate them for the next opponent I face, because then at least that gives another fighter the option to fight for a world title."
Testing
As for Mayweather, the 34-year-old has made it clear that any opponent must consent to his stringent drug-testing demands, something that has proved a stumbling block in his negotiations with Manny Pacquiao in the past.
Last week Mayweather's uncle and trainer Roger accused Khan of taking steroids, but the man from Bolton is not concerned by the allegations - which he strenuously denies - or the prospect of any testing procedure.
"I am a clean fighter - I get drug-tested in between, before and after fights," Khan said. "Whatever test he wants me to do, I'm happy to do it.
"When you see a fighter being very successful, I think people just want to put the fighter down and I think they were doing that by saying I was on steroids.
"I think they just want to break down fighters and get right into their heads.
"With me, it just doesn't work - I've been in the game getting drug tested since I was an Olympic athlete, so I don't think it will ever affect me.
"It gets petty when they talk about things like that, but (trainer) Freddie (Roach) and I are happy for me to take a drug test whenever."
