And the 30-year-old has firmly set his sights on veteran Mayweather, who came out of retirement to defeat Conor McGregor in a mega-money fight in August.

When quizzed over a potential clash with the American on Twitter, Khan said: “Who knows? Floyd is a great fighter I just hav (sic) something he’s not faced, speed.

“Floyd knows I’m not the 1 to back down. I know it’s been a year I’ve not fough (sic) due to (a) hand surgery.

“I’m ready to make comeback at 30 years of age. Say what you like Canelo was getting out boxed. I was winning on (the) cards.

“He had power and caught me with a huge right (hand). That’s Boxing. Mayweather doesn’t have the power… in any fight I’ve never been outboxed.

“Mayweather khan (sic) fight would be a game of chess. Speed, movement and accuracy will cause him problems.”

Brook tweeted: “If you wanna play kiss-chase with retired men shame, really. Get in with me n I’ll fast track ya into collection your pension.”
