Eddie Hearn says Amir Khan can set up super fight if he beats Samuel Vargas

Kell Brook and Manny Pacquiao will be watching on as Amir Khan has the chance to set up a "super fight" next, says Eddie Hearn.

Brook will be ringside as part of the Sky Sports team for Khan's Birmingham showdown with Samuel Vargas on Saturday night, with 'Pac-Man' expected to be tuning in from further afield.

Khan has already been linked with a stadium fight against his two big rivals and promoter Hearn insists an impressive win over Vargas could even put Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr on his radar.

"One thing is, without a doubt, that if Amir Khan wins on Saturday night, he is in a super fight, whether that's Pacquiao, whether that's Brook, whether that's Crawford, whether that's Spence," Hearn told Sky Sports News.

"He's ready to go into those fights. He wants that. That's why he returned to the sport. I think he's going to look to answer a lot of questions on Saturday night.
