Former boxing champion Amir Khan has set the boxing world abuzz with speculation about a potential return to the ring. The British-Pakistani boxer, renowned for his unified light-welterweight titles, has hinted at a high-profile bout against Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao. The revelation came via a social media post where Khan tagged Saudi Minister Turki Al-AlShikh, suggesting that Saudi Arabia could be the venue for this highly anticipated clash.
Khan’s post has ignited excitement among boxing fans and industry insiders alike. The potential fight would not only mark Khan’s return but also bolster Saudi Arabia’s growing reputation as a premier destination for major boxing events. The kingdom has recently garnered attention for hosting significant matches, including the much-discussed Usyk vs Fury bout.
Sources indicate that discussions about the fight have been conducted behind closed doors, with both camps reportedly exploring the logistics and financial aspects of the proposed bout. Should the fight come to fruition, it would be a significant addition to Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning sports calendar, further establishing the country as a key player in the global boxing arena.
