Amir Khan has admitted that he is looking for a "Plan B opponent" as his purported bout with Floyd Mayweather Jnr looks increasingly unlikely.
The British light-welterweight was strongly linked with a May 3 clash with the unbeaten Mayweather but has heard nothing from the 'Money Team' so far, and the Bolton-born scrapper has now revealed that alternatives are being explored.
He told FightHype.com: "I'll still fight in May regardless of whatever happens. Early May or end of April, I want to fight because I want to keep myself busy. We're going to get a Plan B opponent, hopefully take that fight, and still work our way towards a Mayweather fight.
"Look, the aim and the goal is to fight Floyd Mayweather and to keep working towards that fight. If we don't get the fight, then we just have to go to Plan B really and we have to just kind of stay strong mentally.
"I mean, everything happens for a reason and maybe it's not the right time, so you just move on and then you just get a new opponent. Look, it's not going to faze me."
The 27-year-old recently won a poll against Marcos Maidana over who should be Mayweather's next opponent.
Khan has rebuilt his reputation with low-key wins over Julio Diaz and Carlos Molina following back-to-back defeats to Lamont Petersen and Danny Garcia in 2012.
