Boxer Amir Khan confirms fight with Canelo Alvarez in May

LONDON: Pakistani-born British boxer Amir Khan is ready to take on Canelo Alvarez on May 7, TheNewsTribe.com reported.

Khan has claimed the reaction to his fight outstrips that which greeted the announcement of a long-awaited bout between Mayweather and Pacquiao, which was held in Las Vegas in May last year. The event was the highest-grossing pay-per-view fight in history.

“I believe this fight between Canelo and I is getting more attention than a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight,” Khan told Ring TV. “

The hype for this fight has just been unexpected. No one knew of this fight taking place or of any negotiations taking place.

He said that when the fight was announced, no one knew how to react to this fight or to even believe it was happening.

“People around the boxing world are saying Amir Khan has some balls going up in weight. It’s nice to catch fans by surprise with a fight of this magnitude,” he added.
