Will Amir Khan Still Face Manny Pacquiao in November?

Barely 3 hours after Amir Khan announced that agreements had been reached between his camp and Manny Pacquiao, Pacquiao’s publicist has denied a deal has been agreed for a fight to hold in Saudi Arabia this November.

Amir Khan had claimed the bout in Riyadh on 8 November was “signed off and done” following his stoppage win over Australia’s Billy Dib in the Saudi Arabia on Friday.

But Pacquiao’s spokesperson Fred Sternberg refuted Manny had signed any contract.

“As far as I know it hasn’t been even discussed,”
“Manny has been in training camp for the past eight weeks, four in the Philippines and four in the States, and he hasn’t met with Amir Khan during that time.”

A proposed fight between Khan and Pacquiao fell through in 2017 and the 40-year-old icon is scheduled to fight American Keith Thurman in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Pacquiao holds a record of 61 wins, seven defeats and two draws in a 24-year professional career while Khan has 34 wins and five defeats to his name.
