One Of Mayweather's Biggest Wishes Is A Duel Against Amir Khan, But...

JAKARTA - Floyd Mayweather Jr. constantly moving outside the ring to organize fights that generate attractive income. This was revealed by Amir Khan, a former world champion who recently announced his retirement from professional boxing.

'Money' - Mayweather's nickname - met Khan in Dubai and he was unsuccessful in persuading the British boxer to fight.

"Floyd said to me 'Look, we have to move.' And I said 'Dude, I'm going to announce my retirement tomorrow.' And he said 'No, I don't think you should do that,'" Khan told The Sun, Wednesday, May 18.

Therefore, his fight against Mayweather will not take place unless there is an unexpected change in the scenario. It's just that, the fight has always failed to be done by Khan throughout his career.

Mayweather avoided his most likely fight against Khan in 2014.

"Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao said now let's fight. Wait and wait for them ... I don't think so, I will do my best," he said.

Khan doesn't want to fight Mayweather or anyone anymore. Likewise against Pacquiao, after the Filipino has teased him with a number of challenges in the past.

"They thought I would take up the challenge. And I told them, 'No, of course not,'" Khan said.

"I don't think the fight will happen. I don't know why they keep saying they will accept the fight," he commented in surprise.

Amir Khan's last fight was against Kell Brook and ended in a sixth round KO. At 35, he decided it was time to hang up his gloves. He announced it last May 13, with the publication on his social media accounts.

"It's time to hang up the gloves. I feel blessed to have had an incredible career spanning over 27 years. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the amazing team who have worked with me and my family, friends and fans for their love and support. that was shown to me," Khan said.
