Amir Khan will get back in the ring once against, according to promoter Ben Shalom.
That decision comes despite the 35-year-old veteran’s one-sided defeat to longtime rival Kell Brook in what looked a decisive result, despite the existence of a rematch clause.
The former world champion was stopped in the sixth round, and many had anticipated that he would step away from the sport, particularly as he discussed falling out of love with boxing following his defeat.
However, Shalom believes that Khan could fight once more, though perhaps not against Brook.
"I think he's [Khan] thinking about it [rematch clause], he's still got another couple of weeks, but what I do know is he will fight again," he told Sky Sports.
"I'm pretty sure that's what he wants to do. It's not for me as a promoter to tell a fighter when he should retire.
"He knows what went on in that ring, he knows what the lead-up was. Whether he fights on with myself or someone else, I don't know, but I'm convinced Amir will fight on, or at least that's what I'm hearing.
"But in terms of a rematch, I think the Brook vs Khan rematch shouldn't happen. I don't think it makes sense.
"But Amir's his own man, he'll do what he thinks is right for his career, he's a legend of the sport. Who am I to say what he should do?
"Obviously we'll wish him luck with whatever he does, and if he needs us we'll be there to help."
