Amir Khan believes he is the favourite to be Manny Pacquiao's final opponent.
“I am the front-runner,” Khan told BBC Sport. “Manny Pacquiao makes a good story because we've been training partners and I've been with his coach Freddie Roach. There's a big chance of the fight happening, it's all about making sure my team is on point with the deal and they need to make sure they get the fight that I want.”
Khan had hoped to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr in the American's final bout but the multiple world champion opted to face Andre Berto. However, Khan believes Pacquiao is looking for a higher profile end to his career. “It would be Pacquiao's last fight and would end his career in a big way, not like Floyd where, no disrespect to Berto, but I think Floyd finished his career on a low note,” he added. – The Independent
