Amir Khan held talks over a potential fight with undefeated champion Josh Taylor before deciding to retire from boxing.
The British star recently announced he will hang up his gloves after 17 years as a professional fighter. Khan stepped back into the ring earlier this year against fierce rival Kell Brook but came up short in stoppage defeat.
But BOXXER promoter Ben Shalom believes it was obvious that Khan would eventually opt to retire despite entertaining fight talks. "The only other one I can think of was Josh Taylor," Shalom told The Metro when asked about fight talks before Khan's retirement.
