Khan tired of wait

LONDON - British light-welterweight Amir Khan said he will move up a division after his fight with Lamont Peterson in Washington next month if fellow unified champion Timothy Bradley continues to snub a showdown offer.

The 28-year-old Bradley has shown little interest in 24-year-old Khan's attempts to lure him into the ring.

And Khan believes that if Bradley, his only serious challenger for the position of world number one at light-welterweight, continues to refuse a big-money unification bout he will have to shed his own light-welterweight belts and search bigger challenges at welterweight.
