Rumours of a Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao rematch are gathering momentum for 2026, but Amir Khan wants to hijack the fight and face Pacquiao himself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former unified super-lightweight champion has called Pacquiao out for ‘one final dance’ amid speculation that Mayweather vs Pacquiao 2 is edging closer.<\/p>\n

Amir Khan Calls Out Manny Pacquiao<\/h2>\n

Former unified world light-welterweight champion Amir Khan has called out Manny Pacquiao, despite the eight-division world champion being in talks over a possible Floyd Mayweather rematch in 2026.<\/p>\n

Khan took to social media on Wednesday evening calling for a fight with ‘PacMan’, despite the British boxer having been retired for over three-and-a-half years.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old has shared the ring with several elite fighters at the top of the boxing pound-for-pound rankings<\/a> over the years, including the likes of Terence Crawford, Canelo Alvarez and Zab Judah to name but a few.<\/p>\n

One man Khan hasn’t yet shared the ring with is the great Pacquiao. However, ‘King’ wants to change that next year and has called the Filipino boxing legend out for a 2026 showdown once and for all.<\/p>\n

As a retired fighter, Khan has no intention of returning to the ring, unless it is a fight versus Pacquiao. The popular British fighter has admitted that the Pacquiao fight is the only one that would get him out of retirement, also saying that it’s ‘what the fans always wanted’.<\/p>\n

It seems Khan’s call out of Pacquiao is a total long shot, given the fact that ‘PacMan’ returned to competition this year and ran Mario Barrios close for the WBC World Welterweight Title. In fact, many people feel Pacquiao actually did enough to beat Barrios despite not getting the decision.<\/p>\n

Now, the 46-year-old looks like he will continue fighting, and has even revealed he is in talks over a potential rematch with former foe Floyd Mayweather. However, Khan is trying to hijack that fight in an attempt to face ‘PacMan’ instead.<\/p>\n
