In an interview with The Sun, Khan stated, "I am training a little bit here and there, but the thing is the only man that can make that fight happen is Turki Alalshikh. I think Turki Alalshikh can make that fight happen between me and Manny Pacquiao. Yeah, that’s a fight that would definitely lift me up, for sure."
Manny Pacquiao, who announced his retirement in 2021 but returned to the ring in 2022, is equally enthusiastic about the potential showdown. Pacquiao, now 45, hasn't fought since his bout against Korean martial artist DK Yoo in December 2022. Both fighters have confirmed ongoing negotiations, with Pacquiao indicating that the fight is expected to take place at 147 pounds.
Khan, in talks with Pacquiao, sees the potential bout as a brilliant fight. He shared with the Daily Mail, "There’s a lot of interest in that fight between Manny Pacquiao and myself. Manny is in town so this is where me and him will have a sit down. If it happens [the fight] here or somewhere else it would be great. If I fight Manny Pacquiao I think it will be a brilliant fight. I’ve always looked up to him and we know each other quite well."
As boxing enthusiasts eagerly await further developments, the potential matchup between Khan and Pacquiao could be a headline-grabbing event in the near future.
