Amir Khan says he wants to fight Kell Brook or Manny Pacquiao after he has seen off his next opponent, Samuel Vargas

The massive height difference seemed to make Khan chuckle... but left the Gucci bum-bag wearing basketball ace stony-faced.

McGee has no reason to be upset either, having come off the back of consecutive NBA title wins with the Golden State Warriors.

And now the gaffe-prone centre has teamed-up with superstar LeBron James at the Lakers ahead of the 2018-19 season.

During the star-studded evening in LA, Khan also met fellow boxers Deontay Wilder and Mikey Garcia, as well as Caitlyn Jenner.

Ex-NASCAR driver Danica Patrick hosted the glitzy event - becoming the first woman to do so.

A range of greats from all sports - including boxing, football, gymnastics, golf and the NFL - were in attendance to watch the action unfold.

On the night - despite not being in attendance - new Juventus striker Cristiano Ronaldo was still able to add another award to his collection.

CR7 - currently on tour in China - beat Lionel Messi, Mo Salah and Neymar to be crowned Best International Men's Soccer Player at the bash.
