The Belfast-born fighter, 33, is yet to step into the ring since his knockout to the hands of Jordan Gill in December 2023.
His motivation to stick on the gloves again has come after signing a deal with the Wasserman boxing agency as he attempts to maintain his world title ambitions.
Conlan’s defeat to Gill followed losses against Leigh Wood and a world title defeat to Luis Alberto Lopez.
Frankly, he has yet to make good on the promise he showed in the early 2010s during his time as Irish representative in London and Rio Olympics, despite the controversial loss in Brazil.
As for Khan, he may not have any real pedigree to his career but a 19-5-1 record with five knockouts underlines a strong fighter regardless.
