In the clip, Khan talks to De La Hoya about future plans and the promoter brings up an interesting opponent – Lucas Matthysse.

According to De La Hoya, the fight is possible if Khan wants it.

Matthysse recently made a successful comeback to the ring after a long layoff and defeated Emmanuel Taylor. Meanwhile, Khan has not fought since his knockout defeat to Canelo Alvarez in 2016 but as you can tell, he is looking for a fight.
