Amir Khan thinks a fight with Conor McGregor would make perfect business sense.
The 32-year-old wants to take on the UFC star in the boxing ring and has billed it as a "England v Ireland" clash.
Khan was talking before his defeat to WBO welterweight champion and pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford in New York last weekend.
The Bolton man is now a free agent after his promotional deal with Matchroom ended and has said he is only interested in having “one or two more big fights”.

A fight with McGregor could be a money-spinner for Khan with the Crumlin man's only pro boxing bout against Floyd Mayweather reportedly securing the second highest pay-per-view buy rate in history.
And Khan told Talksport that he would not turn down the chance to fight McGregor.
He said: “I mean it’s business, isn’t it?
“We’re at a level now where it makes great business like Floyd Mayweather. We all learned from Floyd Mayweather – how he makes fights happen.
“Conor McGregor vs Amir Khan would be a massive fight. It’d be huge, you’ve got Irish vs English so that’ll be massive.
“If that happens, I’m not one to turn away from that.”
