Avatar

Riyadh Season is set to take place right after summer and it already has grabbed headlines for a scheduled concert by global K-Pop icons BTS. They are back in the headlines again as they have scheduled an epic boxing clash between British boxer Amir Jhan and Philipino legend Manny Pacquiao.

According to the Arab News, the fight will take place on the 8th of November,

The two never fought before and were about to face each other back in 2017 but that never materialized.

Amir Khan fresh out of a boxing bout with a win over Australia’s Billy Dib that took place in Jeddah on the 12th of July. Pacquiao meanwhile has a fight scheduled with American boxer Keith Thurman in Las Vegas on the 20th.

Whatever the outcome, this fight sure looks like one that will echo down through the ages. And, by scheduling fights like these Saudi Arabia is surely coming to the forefront in the world of boxing.

While Amir Khan was in Saudi Arabia last week he was gifted a cloth from the grave chamber of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)

And he even donned Saudi attire
