Manny Pacquiao's camp have denied that an agreement has been made for the Filipino boxing superstar to face Amir Khan in Saudi Arabia.

Khan yesterday claimed that a deal for the pair to meet in Riyadh in November had been signed.

However, Pacquiao's spokesman Fred Sternberg said that the eight-weight world champion has not signed a contract to fight the British star, and that it hasn't even been discussed.

Pacquiao takes on WBA super-welterweight champion Keith Thurman in Las Vegas on Saturday, while Khan defeated Billy Dib last weekend.
