Amir Khan has confirmed that he is no longer in talks to fight Manny Pacquiao.
The British boxer was in negotiations with Pacquiao, who is set to return to training before the end of the year, after surgery on his right shoulder.
Pacquiao had expressed interest in fighting Khan, but he appears to have made a u-turn, as speculations grow about a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jnr.
Khan told The National: “I’m really disappointed in Manny and his team. They aren’t playing ball. All that was left to do is to sign the contract. But they are stalling.
“I have pulled out of the negotiations. I am no longer fighting Manny Pacquiao.
“They know I am a tricky fight for him and they know I will beat him. Or else, why pull out of a fight when there is a lot of money on the table?
“I don’t really know if Mayweather is fighting Pacquiao again. It is a possible reason for him to stall on signing the contract, but I don’t really know.” .
