Amir Khan has reached a deal with Manny Pacquiao for the super-fight he has been craving.
Khan has agreed terms ‘in every last detail’ to meet Pacquiao in America in April.
Confirmation that Khan has accepted the contract has been sent by his lawyers to Pacquiao’s legendary promoter Bob Arum.
The fight, which Pacquiao insists will be his last before he runs for senator in the Philippines, will take place on April 9 in Las Vegas.
Shah Khan, father and mentor of Bolton’s former two-division world champion, said: ‘Our paperwork went off to Arum on Friday and every point is covered.’
A Plan B is in place, with Khan Snr admitting: ‘We have been here before, with Floyd Mayweather, so while we are confident the contract will be back with us we are holding the second Saturday in January as a fallback date for an alternative fight.’ – Daily Mail
