The Bolton boxer is refusing to let Ramadan get in the way of his bid to fight the pound-for-pound king in Las Vegas on September 12
Amir Khan has hit out at Floyd Mayweather,who is still to announce who his next opponent will be.
Khan has made no secret of his desire to fight the pound-for-pound king, in what Mayweather says will be his final ever fight on September 12.
The unbeaten American hinted he could fight either Andre Berto or Karim Mayfield, but the Bolton boxer insists he still hasn't given up hope of stepping into the ring in Las Vegas in two months' time.
Khan is refusing to use Ramadan as an excuse to dodge a potential showdown with Mayweather, training in between fasts to keep himself in shape.
He has held off planning his next fight until Mayweather makes a decision, in the hope of being the first man to beat the 48-0 five-division champ.
Khan told Sport360 : "I just don't know why he's playing these little games, I think it's unprofessional really from a person like Floyd Mayweather who is renowned as one of the best fighters ever.
"He is playing these little games just to look for every little advantage that he can get. But I'm not going to let it get to me, I'm just going to keep calm and collected.
"If it happens, it happens, if it doesn't then there will be a plan B to move onto."
Khan says he will fight in either November or December if Mayweather opts to face a different opponent in September.
