Eight months after their blazing war, Marcos Maidana is still throwing bombs at England’s Amir Khan.


Tweeting from his training camp in Puerto Rico, Maidana said, “Very funny that Amir Khan says that he offered to fight to a number of fighters and they said no… What Khan doesn't say is that he begged the WBA in written [sic] that they don't put me in front of him again, like we should have.”


The Argentine was responding to a recent interview with BoxingScene where the current IBF/WBA super champion said, “On July 23rd we offered the fight to [Tim] Bradley and he said no, [Juan Manuel] Marquez said no, [Erik] Morales also said no, [and I’m] glad [Zab] Judah took the fight on. I want to clean up the 140-pound division but no one wants to fight me.”
