Khan said he is fighting for the WBC and WBA titles while the bout between Haye and Chisora, who has lost three of his last four fights, is merely for pride.
“People know the difference, especially boxing fans, they know my fight is a lot bigger because there’s two world titles on the line,” Khan told Five Live yesterday.
“David is a good friend of mine but the fight is not as big a fight. There are no world titles on the line and I don’t think Chisora is a top-10 (fighter) in the world. “The guy I’m fighting, Danny Garcia, is a top-10 in the world so it makes it more fun to watch.”
