Amir Khan has opened the door to fight KSI after Wayne Bridge retired, but will have to wait for Dillon Danis to do it first.
KSI, Youtuber, turned into a boxer, will face Bridge at the end of this year, but the former footballer retired, citing comments made by his rival about his past as his reason to do so.
On the other hand, Danis, who lost to Ksi's friend and commercial partner, Logan Paul, the last time he fit, has taken a step forward, with the fight that will take place on March 29 in Manchester.
Ksi and Khan have been linked to the fight with each other several times in the past, however, as Khan states, they have never been in contact. It remains to be seen if they ever fight.
Khan is open to the fight, but would demand a great rate, and would have to get out of retirement to do it after hanging his gloves in 2022.

“There is nothing out there that they told me,” revealed the 38 -year -old man. 'They keep mentioning my name and calling me.
'I have never talked to KSI or anyone from his team, but they know where I am and know how to get in touch with me. We have friends in common, and have talked to some of my friends in common and have asked about the fight, but no one has come to me.
'Now I am my own boss and I have been during the last five years. If you want to negotiate with me, I will talk to them and send it to my lawyer and then the negotiations begin. Administer everything and I know everything in the game. I want £ 10 million for 100 percent fight because a fight like that I don't shorten with PPV numbers.
'If I want to go back to the ring again, I want to make sure that I am motivated to return to the ring. I need something big to push me back to the ring. I have enough money, a great name and I have won multiple world titles, the Olympic Games and many huge fights and difficult training. We are prize fighters.
Khan revealed that he has approached Ksi's rival, Jake Paul, in the past. Pablo fought for the last time when he beat Mike Tyson at the end of last year, and apparently had been ready to face Canelo Álvarez until a change from U saw the Mexican sign a four fight agreement with the Riyadh season.
However, the conversations did not go well, and Khan became Paul to explain the details.
“I had a meeting with Jake Paul's team, and they told me to give me a price, what do you want to fight?” He said. 'I know the numbers very well and I have been in the biggest fights in boxing. I know that the PPV buys, the door, the prices of food and drink and I want a percentage of everything because I am the one who makes the show.
'I gave them my price and they failed me. They didn't want to advance. The meeting was a bit dead, and they don't know what they are doing. Jake Paul's team doesn't know what they are doing.
Khan also opened the negotiations with Jake Paul's team, who, according to him, rejected his demands

'Literally, when it comes to boxing and there is no lack of respect for Nakisa Berarian, but he has no idea. Netflix has landed in his lap, and they don't know how to handle it.
'In a serious note, Jake Paul's manager is a very arrogant guy. Jake Paul is a lovely guy, I thought he would have a chip on his shoulder, but it was mainly Nakisa Berartary. I didn't like the way he was and how big it was.
'Instead of negotiating, they told me that the fighter who was Neeraj Goyat, and said this was my price. Instead of returning with a counteroffie, they failed and lost it. I wanted 10 million. Imagine a British Pakistani fighter against an Indian fighter, it would have been enormous. They were so little professional, and left a bad taste in my mouth.
Meanwhile, Paul's team states that Paul has never considered or argued to face Khan, that the meeting was to discuss Khan against Goyat and that Khan made a proposal that he was “so beyond the kingdom of reality that he immediately closed ”
