Andrew Sheridan Re-Signs With Sale

Andrew Sheridan has rejected a offer to play in France next season and has re-signed with Sale on a new twelve month deal. The England prop had been linked with a move abroad, but has decided to stay loyal to club he has played for since 2003 when he moved from Bristol.

After announcing Steve Diamond, former Sale player and coach had been revealed as new executive director of sport at the club. Sale wasted no time in announcing that Andrew has decided to stay, Diamond originally signed Sheridan from Bristol and is delighted to team up with the prop once again.

Diamond said: "I am very pleased Andrew has re-signed for the club.

"I remember watching him develop as a player and knew he was going to be one of the best as his career progressed.

"I have followed his progress with interest and am looking to build a team around Sherri and Mark Cueto who has also been a loyal servant to the club down the years."

Khan Not Ready for Floyd Bout

Amir Khan has insisted that he is not ready to fight Floyd Mayweather just yet. The WBA World Light Welterweight Champion would like one more title defence before facing Floyd and feels he doesn't have enough experience to face the American.

Khan successfully defended his title against Marcos Maidana with a thrilling point’s victory in Las Vegas last week and has said he wants to unify the division.

Khan told BBC Radio: "It's a possibility in the future. A lot of people say I want to fight Mayweather next.

"I want to fight Mayweather in 12 months. It gives me time to mature and to get more experience.

"Hopefully around April I want to get one more fight in before I unify the division."

Khan also stated he would like the fight on home soil. "Before the end of 2011 or even in England at the beginning of 2012," he added.

"The interest would be huge in England. I want to bring the biggest fights over here. To get Mayweather to fight in England would be a huge success."
