Boxing's Amir Khan open to MMA career, says fight with Conor McGregor would be 'massive'

Move over, Floyd Mayweather Jr.! You're not the only boxer willing to mix it up with current Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Featherweight king Conor McGregor.

According to a recent report by Flo Combat, former WBA (Super) and IBF Light-Welterweight boxing champion Amir Khan is open to fighting "Notorious." But unlike Mayweather, the 29-year-old England native would be willing to meet McGregor inside of the famed Octagon.

"I'm a little different in that sense, where I would get into a cage and I would fight in MMA rules, so that's the difference between me and Mayweather," said Khan.
