British boxer Amir Khan has said that he will challenge unbeaten world champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. to a video game on his Xbox at Khan's home in Bolton next month.
Khan plans to invite Mayweather to his home in Bolton when he appears in a 200 pound-a-ticket evening at the Reebok Stadium on June 23 as part of his UK tour.
According to the Mirror, Khan said that he would challenge Mayweather to a game of Fight Night, adding that he dismissed playing pool with the unbeaten world pound-for-pound king as he is 'rubbish' at that game.
Khan further said that he has met Mayweather a few times and found that the American is not as arrogant as he is on TV, although he feels that Mayweather is throwing down the gauntlet by coming to his home town, even though a clash between the pair is highly unlikely before May 2015.
