AMIR Khan and Ricky Hatton are being lined up for a sensational £50million super fight next summer.

Both fighters want the fight to happen and Wembley Stadium is being tipped as the venue for an anticipated 100,000 crowd.

The Battle of Britain between Bolton hero Khan and Manchester superstar Hatton would be the biggest domestic fight since Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank had their epic battles in the 1990s.

It would be the biggest fight of Khan’s career, with the unbeaten 21-year-old stepping up from lightweight.

Hatton says he would fight Khan “at the drop of a hat” after sweeping all before him at light welterweight throughout a distinguished career.

And Khan is relishing the prospect of going head-to-head with The Hitman in a fight which would grab the imagination of the British public and generate an estimated £50million.

“What a fight it would be,” Khan said.

“I’ve always said I want to move up the weights to light welterweight, maybe in 12 months, and if Ricky is still around that fight could be made.

“It would be a massive fight. Both of us come from Manchester and it is a fight that people would want to watch “It would be one of the biggest British fights ever and you’d have a lot of people watching it.”

The one stumbling block to the fight would be Hatton’s insistence that Khan’s promoter Frank Warren was not involved in the fight.

Warren promoted Hatton until the pair fell out shortly after the Manchester fighter signalled his arrival as one of the world’s best when he stunned Kostya Tszyu in June 2005.

Hatton is keen to promote the fight under the banner of his own company, Punch Promotions, in association with Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions.

Hatton, who will fight Paulie Malignaggi in Las Vegas on November 22, said: “Amir has got bags of potential, but he has a lot of catching up to do.

“If the fight did happen I’d be up for the challenge.

“And if I could promote it, even better. Amir would get the financial rewards he deserves.”

The bookmakers are already compiling odds on the fight, with Hatton rated as 1/9 favourite to win with Khan 5/1.
