London (AFP)
British boxer Amir Khan said on Tuesday that an agreement was reached for the organization of a fight between him and Filipino Manny Pacquiao in Saudi Arabia on November 8.
"It's signed and done, facing Manny Pacquiao is awesome," Amir Khan told TalkSport Radio from his training room in Bolton.
Manny Pacquiao has not officially confirmed.
Khan won the WBC welterweight title after a knockout win over Australia's Billy Dib in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Friday.
The 32-year-old boxer plans to return to the country on November 8 to face his former training partner in Riyadh, while "Pac Man" faces Keith Thurman for the WBA welterweight title in Las Vegas on Saturday.
"Whatever he does against Thurman, I'm convinced it's a big fight," said the Brit. A proposal for a fight between the two boxers failed in 2017.
Pacquiao, 40, has a record of 61 wins, 7 losses and 2 draws in his 24-year career, against 34 wins and 5 losses for Khan.
