Amir Khan fights Julio Diaz on April 27
Amir Khan says he has no time for welterweight rival Kell Brook ahead of his clash with Julio Diaz in April.
Khan and Brook have argued in the past and British boxing fans have urged
the duo to get it on in the ring.
Brook fights Devon Alexander for the IBF title in May while Khan is returning to England for the first time in two years to take on Diaz in Brook's home city of Sheffield.
Khan, 26, told Sky Sports: "Wherever we fight in the UK, we will go to Brook's home town and we will sell out - that's a fact. Brook should not be focusing on my fight
"I'm not thinking about a fight with him - he's got a fight with Devon Alexander. He has to be focused on his thing. But it will show I have more fans than him in his home city.
"That's a laugh in his face. I have nothing against Kell Brook. I don't care about him or think about him. He has to prove himself. At the moment he's not on my radar or anything.
"If I move up to 147 then definitely I would fight him, but it's six to nine months before I do move up. When I do, I'm not someone who says no and I would take that fight."
Khan has also revealed that he is happy at the 140-weight limit, and wants to win his titles back before moving up to the 147 category.
"I still want to fight at 140 and win titles at that weight and then move up to 147 as a world champion," Khan added.
"There are still two fights out there are 140 against Petersen and Garcia - they are fights I want and that are there for me, so I don't see why I should move up."
