He even emphasized on the fact that he thinks that the fun element is gone now from boxing, and he considers this sport more of a job now.

Amir Khan has expressed his valor to fight the undefeated Mayweather in the past and he’s very eager to fight now as well. Amir Khan faces former light-welter weight champion Chris Algiery on May, 30th. He will also be fighting compatriot and IBF Champion Kell Brook in the next year.

Ricky Hatton, the former two-weight champion says that Khan might trouble Mayweather if he is the last person that Mayweather will face in the last match of his career.

He added that: “Amir is boxing with a lot more discipline lately, he’s in and out and he’s not getting involved. I think that type of style will cause Floyd massive problems.

The fight on May, 2nd is said to be one of the biggest fights in the World Boxing History and certainly the most expensive one. Pundits believe that this fight will prove who has been the best fighter of this era. 161
