Major and Latest Boxing news in Ghana

Floyd Mayweather has dropped the biggest hint yet that he will give Amir Khan the bout he craves after the unbeaten American welterweight said he wants to fight in London.

Mayweather was left stunned by the record 80,000 crowd that turned out for the rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves at Wembley last week. 

And the 37-year-old believes he can top that level of interest should he set up a contest in England’s capital.

 “It’s been a goal to come to the UK and put on a spectacular event and the plan is to do just that,” he told The Sun. 

“I love all my fans in the UK and I want to go there and give a good show at Wembley before I retire. I plan to come in the near future.

“I want to continue to make history with the mega events we put on.”

Mayweather, unbeaten in 46 fights, was reportedly keen to fight Khan in September, but the Englishman refused as he would not be fully fit because of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. 

Khan said: “It will be the biggest fight ever in Britain. Global interest would come to England and we’d sell out Wembley.

“I really want to bring this fight to the UK. I’ve fought all over the world and been top of bill but this would be so much bigger.

“Floyd is boxing. Britain would shut down. It would be like the World Cup final of boxing.”
