"Let's make this happen" - Amir Khan (35), calls Floyd Mayeather (45), for an exhibition fight, despite his retirement

AMIR KHAN called Floyd Mayweather for an exhibition fight, just two weeks after announcing that he was retiring from boxing.

Khan quit the sport following defeat to Kell Brook in February. He admitted that he had nothing to offer.

The British legend bumped into Mayweather just before confirming his decision online.

This meeting took place just days before Don Moore was due to return to the ring.

Moore was defeated by Mayweather in Abu Dhabi, where he fought for eight rounds.

Khan has decided to hang up his gloves and retire.

FLOYD'S BANCK

Five potential opponents for Mayweather include Jake Paul and Manny Pacquiao

He said to videographer azizdxb, "We saw today's event, Floyd needs a real challenge."

"We should do this, 100 percent guys, let's make that happen. I'm calling him out. You can either hit me up, or my brother.

Khan, 35, spent many of his prime years trying to get a fight with Mayweather, 45. But he was rebuffed.

However, when the pair met again, he was told that the bout could be his.

Khan said: "Floyd told me, 'Look! We should get it on.

"And I said, "Brother," and he replied, "No, I don’t think you should."

"Obviously, pro fighters tell you all your lives that 'we should fight one another'. They keep you on the sidelines, on the bench, and I'm like forget about that man, I want control over myself.

"I call it a Day when I call it that. It's not a day that Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao are taking control. I call it a day because we'll fight you.

"Waiting and waiting for them, so I thought nah man. I'll do the best for me."

After beating Conor McGregor (33) in the UFC, Mayweather has participated in three exhibitions.

The first was against Tenshin Naukawa, a featherweight kickboxer, who was 23, in 2018, and then Logan Paul, 27, last year.

Moore was able to cruise past Mayweather, even flooring him old friend, and Mayweather said he would box again in the new year.
