According to the Daily Mail (if they’re to be trusted), Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao have reached a deal to fight each other in Las Vegas come April 2016.
In case you haven’t heard about Amir Khan, he’s a British-Pakistani Boxer
And although he was born in England, he has close ties to Pakistan. His family hails from Rawalpindi, so he’s basically a walaiti Pindi boy.

And apparently he likes to create Dubsmash videos too
He’s better at boxing than he is at making Dubsmashes.
Anyways, back to the fight
If the fight does take place, it would be a fairly historic one given the fact that both Amir Khan and Manny Pacquiao were once fighter partners at Freddie Roach’s Wild Card gym in Hollywood.

This would be Manny Pacquiao’s first fight since his defeat to Floyd Mayweather
Since that fight, Pacquiao has been in rehabilitation for his injured shoulder. Even before this supposed agreement, he had been scheduled to return in April to face an unnamed opponent.

But Amir Khan has been through something similar before
Back in 2013, Amir Khan signed an agreement to fight Floyd Mayweather. Mayweather, being the cheeky lad he is, never signed the agreement so the fight never happened. Instead, Mayweather went on to fight Marcos Maidana (who Amir Khan had already beaten).

If Amir Khan fights Pacquiao, there’s a good chance he might also win
Pacquiao is now 36 and one could argue that his age would put him at a disadvantage. Moreover, Pacquiao’s involvement in Filipino politics could also serve as a distraction in a potential fight with Amir Khan.

Pacquiao seems to still be hung up on his last fight
Last month, Pacquiao told a fan on Facebook that he was still negotiating a rematch between himself and Floyd Mayweather. There’s a good chance that may not happen given the fact that Mayweather announced his retirement earlier this year.

With possibly only one fight remaining in his career, it very clear what Pacquiao should do
Fight Amir Khan bro…
