British boxer, Amir Khan has declared that he wants a fight with Phillipino boxer, Manny Pacquiao.
Khan says the huge post-coronavirus bout should ideally take place in the Middle East.
Khan hasn’t fought since he comprehensively defeated Billy Dib in Saudi Arabia last summer.
Khan who is 33 years old is now chasing his next big pay-day against a far more difficult opponent and says his love for boxing is fuelling his current drive.
“I like to box… I’d love to continue boxing, and whenever I see my trophies and my achievements, it boosts me even more [to continue in the sport],” he told beIN Sports.
“I want to reach the level that I can fight against anyone without fearing anything. I want to fight against Manny Pacquiao, he’s the champion.
“Why don’t Qatar host the event, as it’s already prepared for the 2022 World Cup? I love Qatar and I loved my last stay there,” he said.
Pacquiao has previously been a training partner of Khan’s, but now the Brit wants to take on one of boxing’s greats in an official bout.
