British boxer Amir Khan is welcoming a fight with Manny Pacquiao in Dubai next year.
“[A fight] with Manny Pacquiao in Dubai could be massive. I’d love to take that fight,” Khan recently told Sport 360.
Although Khan says his priority is a showdown with Floyd Mayweather Jr. is his priority, he is ecstatic to share the ring with Pacquiao.
The Filipino icon is recovering from a shoulder injury he sustained while training to fight Mayweather, who defeated him in boxing’s richest bout ever. He is expected to return to the ring in 2016.
Pacquiao and Khan have a history, having been sparring partners before. The latter even trained with Freddie Roach.
“We’re friends but sometimes you’ve got to put friendship to one side. That fight would be amazing,” said Khan.
