Amir Khan plans to help Tyson Fury earn £500million for Oleksandr Usyk fight

Amir Khan plans to speak with the Saudi Minister in charge of entertainment to help Tyson Fury secure a £500million payday to fight Oleksandr Usyk.

Fury, 34, would break his retirement promise for an undisputed heavyweight title clash with Usyk, but is demanding a massive £500million for the fight. Usyk made the first defence of his unified belts last weekend when he outpointed Anthony Joshua in their rematch, with the Ukrainian also insisting he will not fight again unless it's against Fury.

Saudi Arabia are the frontrunners to host the fight, with Fury insisting the nation can afford to meet his substantial demand. Khan said he recently spoke with 'The Gypsy King' and will use his good relationship with the Saudi Government to help the Brit with his negotiations.
