Amir Khan 'open to Manny Pacquiao showdown'

Amir Khan refuses to rule out the possibility of facing Manny Pacquiao in the future.

Amir Khan has revealed that he is open to the possibility of fighting Manny Pacquiao, if he fails to lure Floyd Mayweather Jr into the ring with him.

The 28-year-old has not given up hope of challenging the pound-for-pound king, but is refusing to rule out an alternative showdown with the Filipino scrapper.

"Look, if Manny wants to fight, we can do it, I've offered him and his team in the past, but they turned us down," Khan told The National.

"If Manny mans up and wants to take the fight then it will happen, but the only fight I am interested in right now is Floyd Mayweather."

Khan's chances of securing a bout with Mayweather Jr were recently dealt a blow when the American named Karim Mayfield and Andre Berto as the opponents he is considering for his next outing.
