UPDATE: It’s Official. Amir Khan will now take on Billy Dib for the WBC Pearl championship belt on July 12th at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
A new opponent is being sought for former world champion Amir Khan after scheduled opponent Neeraj Goyat suffering “severe injuries” in a car accident. Khan was slated to face Goyat for the WBC Pearl championship on July 12 at the King Abdullah Sports Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, however Goyat reportedly suffered injuries to his head, face and left arm and is currently hospitalized. More to come…
Hope Goyat is well. The problem here is that even with the prestigious Pearl belt on the line it’s probably hard to find another top level opponent for the humble man
Are the imbeciles of the WBC offering this as the interim Pearl Championship or the interim intercontinental Pearl Championship? Inquiring minds want to know…
So a welterweight is fighting a featherweight for a “pearl” championship? WTH is a pearl championship?
Finally! The fight I’ve been waiting for….Amir khan vs billy dibb
Crap

This guy was a Super Featherweight 10 months ago. How is he fighting for a welterweight title (even a fake made-up one)?
Only in Saudi Arabia!
Wait, wasn’t Billy Dib a featherweight not too long ago????
Nonsense! Why didn’t Khan fight Sadam Ali when being presented with the opportunity? Real no if you catch my drift
