Khan has won six out of six professional bouts

The 25 March bout was a casualty of the cancellation of Danny Williams' heavyweight contest, with Khan due to appear on the undercard in Glasgow.

Promoter Frank Warren said he hoped Khan's next fight would be on his King's Hall bill in Belfast on 20 May.

"I spoke to his dad and we decided we'd let him have a break," said Warren.

Instead, Khan will begin to prepare for his next scheduled fight on 20 May.

"It's not really a problem and a young guy at this stage of the game should be in the gym," added Warren.

I was peaking well for the fight but a bit of a break might do me good Amir Khan

"After the fight in May we'll get him back in the ring some time in July."

Warren is uncertain whether Khan will face the Argentine Madole in May.

"We were thinking of keeping the same guy but we may well look to somebody a little bit better although that guy was ranked much higher than Amir," he added.

Khan himself is frustrated by the postponement, but stressed it would do him no harm.

"It'll be a bit hard to take time off," he said.

"I've been training but I'll just take a week off. I was peaking well for the fight but a bit of a break might do me good. It's not upset anything.
