Amir Khan negotiating comeback against Manny Pacquiao, Ryan Garcia and Teofimo Lopez heading to unification
Amir Khan, retired for years, has confirmed he is negotiating a fight with Manny Pacquiao and says he is happy with the financial offer. The fight will not take place on December 11 as initially reported. Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia, WBC welterweight champion after stopping Conor Benn in two rounds, and Teofimo Lopez, WBA champion, are negotiating a unification bout scheduled for the first quarter of 2027, between January and March.
