Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan ‘come to terms’ for April 23rd fight

Eight-division world boxing champion and Philippine senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting once again this April. His opponent will apparently be his former sparring partner Amir Khan.

“Pacman” made the revelation through a recent tweet, stating his camp has come to agreement with Khan’s team.

Two weeks ago, Pacquiao put up a Twitter poll, asking the public whom they think should his next opponent be. Among the choices were Khan, Terence Crawford, Jeff Horn, and Kell Brook. 48% of respondents picked Khan, followed by the next 24% that selected Brook.

Negotiations between team Pacquiao and team Khan have come to terms for the April 23 bout as this is what the fans wanted.
