Amir Khan beats Samuel Vargas on points but who is the Bolton boxer’s next opponent?
The Brit fighter will already be thinking about future mega-fights with fellow countryman or a pound-for-pound legend
WIN or lose, Amir Khan and his promoter Eddie Hearn will already be lining the Bolton boxer's next fight.
The Brit attracts a huge ticket and audience and will want a big draw extend his career.
Who will Amir Khan fight next?
The Bolton boxer will either want Kell Brook or Manny Pacquiao next.
Brook was in the crowd for Khan's bout against Vargas, and it would create a huge show with an all-British bout.
A potential Khan vs Pacquiao fight has been mooted for years and could provide the Filipino legend with a last swansong.
Speaking after Khan's win, Eddie Hearn said: "If the Kell Brook fight doesn't happen next, it'll never happen."
These comments come after Khan admitted he would prefer to meet Pacquiao next.
