There's a halal butcher a few miles down the road. I normally start with soup, then potatoes with salmon, steak or chicken breast. I often have someone who comes to cook for me. "Although I have energy and protein drinks during the afternoon, my next meal isn't until 6pm. It's normally scrambled or poached eggs on toast, tomatoes, beans. Then, after my early-morning running session I have oatmeal with blueberries, raspberries or strawberries. When I first wake up I take a protein shake. "During training camp I have to consume between 6,000 and 6,500 calories every day. I like to change where I run so I don't get bored." Or else I'll go down to Santa Monica and run up and down the steps there. "On other mornings, I'll run on the steep road leading up to the Griffith Observatory and on the dirt trails beyond it. This simulates the end stages of a fight when your legs get heavy and tired - rounds ten, eleven and 12. "After that I do shadow boxing in the sand beside the track. I'll spend 45 minutes running altogether. I either sprint 70 metres flat out, or I do two laps of interval sprints with ten-second fast sprints, followed by 20-second jogs. Just like in a fight, when you first take it easy with jabs, then throw in a fast combination of shots. This is all about sprints and explosive stuff. **"Quite often I run on the track at the University of California, Los Angeles. **"I get up early to do my most intense fitness training, either running or swimming." Whether Khan gets his shot afterwards remains to be seen.In the weeks leading up to a fight, Khan moves from his home town of Bolton to Los Angeles to work with Freddie Roach, one of the world's best boxing trainers, at the Wild Card Boxing Club in Hollywood. Mayweather has stated on multiple occasions that he has his sights set on the PacMan, and it’s a dream match for many boxing fans. Though Khan has certainly proven that he deserves a shot at Mayweather, it’s likely that promoters will overlook him in favour of Pacquiao, a fight that is predicted to pull in record-breaking money. “Me and Kell have long careers ahead of us so no need to rush it and that fight will be there maybe at the end of the year.” Khan also acknowledges that many wish for him to take on Kell Brook in the immediate future, though the 28-year-old insists that he is in “no rush” for that to happen. “I know it’s a fight the British public want but at the moment I want the big names like Mayweather and Pacquiao”, he said.
While he remains adamant that he should be in line for a title shot against the unstoppable Mayweather, many expect that the big-money fight between the champion and Pacquaio may mean that the British boxer will never get the chance to go one-on-one with the American. Khan defeated Alexander by a wide margin on Saturday, December 13th, besting his opponent by 119-109, 118-110, and 120-108. That could be why the fight hasn’t happened.” “I think Floyd knows that as well and he will think it’ll be a tough fight for him and I will cause him problems. Floyd has never fought anyone as quick as me and someone who is quicker than him so, yeah, I definitely want the fight. “I really believe I have the style to give Floyd the biggest problems. I really belong with the top guys and it’s all about getting that big superfight. I have proven in the boxing world and in the 147-pound division how good Amir Khan is. Speaking to Sky Sports, Khan said: “I think the fight (with Mayweather) now has to be touching distance away.
