Former world champion Amir Khan seems excited to see Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr. go up against each other inside the ring.

However, the matchup is still far from meeting official fruition and Khan has apparently revealed the factor that continues to disrupt the matchup.

Akin to several fight fans, ‘King Khan’ is absolutely a fan of the welterweight title unification battle, that will determine the best 147 pounders of the era.

However, he is equally vexed about seeing it get irrelevant with time. Speaking with iFLV TV, the ex-champion shed some light on the possible matchup and posed his opinion on the entire scenario.

“I would like to see that fight, who will come out the winner, who would come out the better. And yeah, who is really the number one welterweight in the world.

“So, yeah it would be a good fight. But I am surprised it’s not being made. I am sure there will be a lot of money on the table and some country will pick the fight to host it,” said Amir Khan.

He added, “I see that they met each other, they spoke to each other, but seems that promoters don’t want to it to happen, I don’t know why.”

On the other hand, Terence Crawford has retained his WBO championship status by knocking out Kell Brook in November.

While all these factors certainly set the champions against each other, promoters need to settle the contractual issues to bring both men in the ring. However, looking at the ongoing ride, the welterweight blockbuster doesn’t seem likely anytime soon.
