    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 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,”

    With Khan out of the running, the position has been offered to Brook’s promotional stable mate, Frankie Gavin, 22-1 (13 KOs). The Birmingham man had been set to face Chris Van Heerden on May 9 at the city’s Barclay Card Arena but now has 24 hours remaining to decide whether to go ahead with the scheduled contes

    Now that's something I wouldn't expect Khan to bring up in his twitter crusades.

    "I was not offered the Bradley fight" lol

    He's almost beneath contempt. Fight Brook or F*ck off Amir.

    This makes no sense to me. Bradley is about Khan's level in terms of skill, but he's not a puncher, so he's not a danger to Khan's chin. This should be an ideal fight with another top contender. If Khan beats Bradley and then Brook, he's got one of the most impressive records in the sport and is at the top of the heap in a year. He might even pick up the last fight from Mayweather or Pacquiao off of those wins.

    The only reason to turn it down is if he really thinks he can't win. I don't get some of these ducks lately. Quillin would have beaten Korobov. Mikey Garcia probably could have beaten Gamboa. Is Khan with Haymon too?

    He'd earn MORE fighting Brook.
