Amir Khan revealed Floyd Mayweather asked him to delay his retirement when the pair met in Dubai.
Khan recently lost to bitter rival Kell Brook in a Manchester grudge match before announcing his retirement from the sport last week after 17 years in the professional ranks. The 35-year-old bumped into boxing legend Mayweather in Dubai, who was set to compete in an exhibition fight with Don Moore before it was cancelled.
The British star has frustratingly admitted he will not let others "control" his retirement decision based on call-outs for potential comeback showdowns. “Floyd said to me ‘Look, we should get it on'," Khan said. "And I said ‘Brother, tomorrow I’m going to announce my retirement.’ And he goes ‘No, I don’t think you should’.
