Amir Khan backs Tyson Fury to follow his lead

Tyson Fury could be set for a money-spinning fight in Saudi Arabia, according to Amir Khan who broke new ground and netted himself a cool £7million for his clash with Billy Dib. The Saudi government are backing the sport with big bucks in a bid to promote the country. "I think they will definitely get a heavyweight star-like Tyson out in Saudi soon," Khan predicted. "I actually helped Tyson do his ESPN deal with promoter Bob Arum I made a few calls. I didn’t take a cut, we are both boxers so I was just happy to help. It would have been nice, though! "I am promoting the sport in Saudi and have the WBC supporting me, so why not help make it happen?"
