By Scott Gilfoid: Amir Khan appeared to be admitting defeat in a tweet last night in saying that he’s heard through the grapevine that Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be facing Andre Berto on September 12th in his next fight.
Khan trains under the same trainer as Berto in Hayward, California, and he says he wishes Berto a lot of luck. It’s still not official, but given that they both have Virgil Hunter as their trainer, it’s likely that Berto told Hunter about him getting the fight, and he in turn may have told Khan. That’s the only way I can see Khan finding out about this.
