“The prime minister of Pakistan will be attending which is huge. It would be amazing if we can get the Prime Minister of England as well. I’m a British Pakistani and it’s great to have that backing from Pakistan,” Khan told reporters in London on Thursday.
The former unified world welterweight champion insisted he doesn’t regret agreeing to fight in Saudi Arabia despite concerns over human rights in the country. Amnesty has described the Saudi human rights record as “abysmal”, adding that the nation is in the “grip of a sweeping crackdown against critics of the government”, and urged Khan to travel there with his “eyes firmly open”.
“I didn’t get involved in the negotiation side. If they told me to fight on the moon. I’m one of those who will fight wherever. “The offer came on to the desk and we took a look at it. It makes sense for me, especially because I want a quick turnaround between fights.”
