Since he can't get a fight with Floyd Mayweather, Amir Khan is turning his attention to Manny Pacquiao.
The Bolton boxer's dream of facing the world's pound-for-pound king are all but over, with Mayweather set to face the underwhelming Andre Berto in what could be his final fight later this year.
Khan's wasted no time in moving on from that disappointment though, and says his next fight could be against the man Mayweather beat in the biggest boxing fight of all time, Manny Pacquiao.
Speaking to the National, Khan said he's already negotiating with Pacquaio's camp:
Khan has been accused of ducking a fight with Kell Brook.
Right now, the biggest fight on the table for Khan is against IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook.
As a world title fight between two British fighters, it'd be a sure candidate to sell out Wembley Stadium and give all the records that Froch-Groves II set in 2014 a run for their money.
While Kell Brook has repeatedly said he's ready for the fight, Amir isn't so sure – despite meeting Brook's promoter, Eddie Hearn:
Real talk or ready made excuses?
