Amir Khan receives exhibition fight offer from boxing legend Manny Pacquiao

Amir Khan has claimed that Manny Pacquiao's team have made contact over a potential exhibition fight.

Khan was brutally defeated when settling his rivalry with Kell Brook in February before announcing his retirement a couple of months later. The British star recently bumped into boxing legend Floyd Mayweather who he claimed had made an offer to fight him in a boxing showcase this year.

Now Khan believes that he is receiving these offers too late having wanted to face both Pacquiao and Mayweather during the prime of his career. "I got another phone call about another one today," Khan told iFL TV. "A friend of mine got a phone call from Freddie Roach to say 'listen we want to get a fight now Manny didn't win the elections, let's do an exhibition or maybe even a proper fight.' They also wanted to do it in the UK.
