Khan, who takes on Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez next Saturday, already has a business interest in the sport of MMA as he is part-owner of Indian promotion Super Fight League.
And ahead of next weekend's step-up in weight, Khan has admitted that he would not rule out a future switch to the cage and suggested he'd be fancy his chances against UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor. Khan told The Guardian: "I have a stake in a company called Super Fight League, which is an MMA company in India and we have a lot of shows in Dubai, too. We are now moving over into America and putting on shows there.
"Just look at when McGregor beat Jose Aldo," Khan continued. "The guy leant forward, over extended and fell short, McGregor stepped back and threw the straight right. It was a proper boxing move. I would not let anyone get close to me, I would take a step back and keep it long. I also believe that us boxers punch harder than MMA fighters anyway."
