Amir Khan was hoping to fight Pacman or Floyd, but as a fan of the sport he’s okay with putting those plans on hold for now…
“I think I probably have missed that chance of fighting Floyd or Manny. I was speaking to both parties. It was going to happen. But because I’m a huge boxing fan myself I can’t really argue. It’s a fight that everyone has been waiting for. I want to see it myself as well.”
