    Amir Khan, 37, back in training and reveals which mega-fight will bring him out of retirement with dig at Jake Paul

    AMIR KHAN has revealed he is back training again with a big fight on his mind – but it will NOT be against Jake Paul. The British boxing icon retired in 2022 following his bitter loss to arch rival Kell Brook after decades of feuding.

    But the former world champion has teased a comeback ever since and is even now keeping fit in the gym.
    Talks in 2023 emerged for Khan to face old sparring partner and friend Manny Pacquiao in Saudi Arabia.
    And Khan admitted that is the fight that would bring him back to the ring one more time.
    He told SunSport in Riyadh: “I mean I am training a little bit here and there but the thing is the only man that can make that fight happen is Turki Alalshikh.

    “I think Turki Alalshikh can make that fight happen between me and Manny Pacquiao.
    “Yeah, that’s a fight that would definitely lift me up, for sure.”
    Pacquiao, 45, hung up his gloves a year before Khan in 2021 following defeat to Yordenis Ugas, 37.
    But after a failed presidential election in the Philippines, the eight-division champ opened the door to a boxing comeback.

    He even faced Korean martial arts YouTuber DK Yoo in December 2022 and recently announced he was out of retirement.
    Pacquiao and Khan were pictured together in October in Saudi before Tyson Fury’s win over Francis Ngannou, fuelling speculation of a bout.
    Khan also called out YouTuber-turned boxer Jake Paul, who is in 8-1 in the ring following just one loss to Tommy Fury, 24.
    But the 2004 Olympic silver medalist jibed that not even a huge payday could actually motivate him to fight Paul, 27.
    Khan, 37, said: “Jake Paul, I don’t think I can lift myself up for that fight. But, like a Manny Pacquiao fight you have to be on your A-game.”

    MMA star Renan Ferreira scores 20 second KO in front of Mike Tyson to secure Francis Ngannou fight and huge $2m payday

    RENAN FERREIRA sent a brutal message to Francis Ngannou following his stunning 20 SECOND knockout of Ryan Bader. The Professional Fighters League champion headlined in Saudi Arabia against Bellator star Ryan Bader.
    Renan Ferreira knocked out Ryan Bader

    And not only would the winner leave Riyadh with bragging rights and a championship belt but also a life-changing bout against Ngannou.
    The PFL announced the victor would be the man to welcome Ngannou back to the MMA cage.
    And Ferreira made short work of Bader after dropping the former UFC contender with a right hand in the opening stages.
    It did not take very long for the referee to then jump in as the giant 6ft 8in Brazilian reined down brutal strikes.

    Ngannou sat next to Mike Tyson cageside and watched on as Ferreira called him out following his KO of the night.
    He said: “I’m the record breaker, I’m the record setter. Francis, where you at? I’m waiting, let’s do this. I’m the champion out here.”
    Ngannou, 37, last year walked out on the UFC to sign for rivals PFL, who allowed him to pursue boxing along with his MMA commitments.
    He faced Tyson Fury, 35, on his boxing debut and astonishingly dropped the Gypsy King, only to lose a controversial split-decision.

    Now, Ngannou returns on March 8 back in Saudi against Anthony Joshua, 34.
    But the PFL have already confirmed he will fight Ferreira by the time he makes his MMA comeback.
    Boxing star Claressa Shields breaks down in tears after MMA win and reveals her arm nearly ‘SNAPPED’ in nasty submission
    And when Ngannou entered talks to sign with the PFL, he negotiated that his next opponent in the cage must be paid $2m (£1.5m).
    So Ferreira – who won the PFL’s $1m season last year – looks in line for another healthy payday when Ngannou swaps the ring for the cage. More

    But Jones diplomatically said: “I feel like there’s a lot of fights that the world wants right now.

    “And Stipe, to the hardcore fans, it’s still a respectable opponent. I don’t know how the cards are gonna fall.

    The YouTube boxer refuted the result, although his appeal was subsequently rejected.
    Appearing on the What’s Good Podcast with Randolph, Miniminter, real name Simon Minter, discussed the younger Fury bro.
    He said: “It’s just weird seeing Tommy Fury, this pro boxer.
    “Obviously everyone who was like, ‘Oh, I know boxing,’ they said, ‘Tommy’s gonna win and it’s not even gonna be close.’

    “To it being that close, and Tommy then saying he’s done with influencer boxing.
    “But he won’t fight Viddal Riley because he won’t sell tickets? Well, who’s he trying to fight? People who sell tickets, influencers.”
    Minter, 31, then frustrated Fury by mentioning his one-year-old daughter.
    Joking about not understanding the 24-year-old, he added: “I don’t know, his kid’s called Bambi.”

    “Say whatever you want about your mate KSI who lost, but don’t ever mention my daughter’s name again or me and you are gonna have a problem.
    “Keep my child’s name out of your mouth.”
    Fury has not fought since controversially outpointing KSI in October, having previously beaten Jake Paul.
    Earlier this week, Paul’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian suggested that his pal could rematch Fury in more than one discipline.
    He said: “Jake has said to Tommy he’s willing to fight him in boxing, and if Jake wins, he’s willing to enter the SmartCage in PFL with Tommy and again give him another payday close to eight figures to do that.
    “So, there’s a path there where it’s worth close to $20million (£15.8m) of guaranteed money to reengage in the Jake Paul competition, effectively.”
