Amir Khan has urged Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to retire after their fight at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on December 11. Both have "sacrificed so much", the former world champion told Hard Rock Bet, as reported by the Mirror.
Khan advised against a fight with heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois: "Maybe Joshua will want a rematch against Daniel if he beats Tyson but I don't think either of them should fight Dubois." Dubois beat Joshua at Wembley in 2024 and recently stopped Fabio Wardley in the second round. Khan suggested Deontay Wilder as Dubois' next opponent.
"You are fighting in the biggest fight in British history, and they will both make so much money," Khan said. According to the Mirror, the fight reportedly carries a purse of around £150 million.
