Amir Khan will fight in Saudi Arabia in November but admits Manny Pacquiao never agreed to face him

The Hindu  

Amir Khan claims he was misled before proclaiming a November fight against Manny Pacquiao was agreed. Pacquiao's camp last week dismissed suggestions the Filipino great had agreed to fight Khan in Saudi Arabia. The fight Khan has long looked for seemed to be on when he said 40-year-old Pacquiao had agreed to a November 8 date, but the British fighter now says he was fed incorrect information. "Before the last press conference I was told the contracts between myself and Manny Pacquiao had been signed," Khan told Sky Sports.
