Amir Khan recalls Floyd Mayweather meeting: ‘He did say ‘Amir I need a dancing partner!”

0:58 Khan calls out former sparring partner Pacquiao

“What happened? When me and [promoter Eddie Hearn] were in talks we were talking about it at 147lbs [welterweight]. Then as the talks were going on it went quiet.

“Then we hear that he’s gone up to 154lbs [super-welterweight]. He knows I would never go up a weight. I went up [two divisions] against Canelo. I said ‘if I am going to fight it would happen at 147’. It was him who walked away from the fight.

“He’s a respectable fighter. He’s a good fighter. It would be massive in the UK. 147lbs is the weight, really. I’m not going up or down.”

But Brook said earlier this month: “I’ve given that angle up. There’s no more I can do. It’s gone past the line now.”

Khan, a former unified super-lightweight world champion and Olympic silver medallist, is considering retirement if his preferred fights can’t be agreed.

“One or two more fights? If I get the chance to have them, I’ll do them,” he said. “We’ll see where the world takes me, but at this moment in time I don’t know.”
