Amir Khan could face Floyd Mayweather in exhibition bout after confirming retirement

Amir Khan claims that Floyd Mayweather is still keen on arranging an exhibition bout between the pair, despite his recent retirement announcement.

The former world champions have both hung up their gloves after glittering careers, with Mayweather still competing in unsanctioned exhibition bouts, including his meeting with Don Moore on Saturday night. And even though Khan has now finished fighting, the pair could meet in the ring after they crossed paths in Dubai a few weeks ago, with Mayweather reportedly "excited" about the prospect.

Khan ended his career after a loss to Kell Brook in his last outing back in February, while the American retired on top by beating UFC legend Conor McGregor in 2017. Since that massive crossover bout, Mayweather has gone on to compete against kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa and YouTube star Logan Paul in two major exhibition bouts, the latter of which drew one million pay-per-view buys.
