Boxing-Khan looks forward to ‘amazing fight’ in Pacquiao farewell (Reuters)
By Amlan Chakraborty NEW DELHI, Nov 3 (Reuters) – British boxer Amir Khan said on Tuesday his team is negotiating a fight with Manny Pacquiao in what would be the Filipino great’s final bout before taking to full-time politics. Winner of world titles in eight different weight classes, the 36-year-old Pacquiao is recovering from a surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff following his defeat to Floyd Mayweather Jr in May. Already a member of the country’s lower house of representatives, Pacquiao wanted to fight Mayweather Jr again in April before focussing on his political career but the American has said he has since retired with a 49-0 record. “It would be an amazing fight, two fighters who know each other really well,” Khan told reporters in New Delhi of a potential fight with Pacquiao.
