Amir Khan has gone face to face with Adrien Broner ahead of a possible summer fight against the former lightweight world champ.
Khan is expected to announce his next opponent imminently, with British rival Kell Brook set to feature on his agenda for a Wembley blockbuster next year.
But in the shorter term, the Bolton fighter has held talks with American Broner, who tweeted a movie of himself and Khan talking via movie. He included the hashtag #BronervsKhan.
In the movie, Broner tells Khan: ‘Hey, tell them to make the fight, man, let’s get this money.’
It’s by no means certain that the fight will go ahead, with Broner seemingly more keen than Khan.
However, the Brit has previously encouraged talk of a bout against a man whose brash manner has made him a big draw in his homeland.
Khan is targeting a fight at the end of May before violating for Ramadan in mid-June, with a distant hope of facing the winner of Floyd Mayweather’s May two showdown with Manny Pacquiao.
Brook remains the money-spinning fight on the agenda, with Khan having said on Tuesday that he wants to fight the IBF welterweight world champ at Wembley within twelve months.
Brook was due to fight in July but exposed he has brought forward his plans following his demolition of Jo Jo Dan last Saturday.
He said: ‘I have told Eddie Hearn to get me out as soon as possible and I want to fight twice before the end of the summer, commencing at the end of May.’
