Former world champion Amir Khan said Friday that he is eager to end his boxing career with a lucrative bout against ring great Manny Pacquiao or in an all-British contest with Kell Brook.

The 33-year-old Khan, who won his last bout with a fourth-round victory over Billy Dib in Saudi Arabia in July, had reportedly been considering retirement, but he is determined to go out with a flourish against high-class opposition.

"I have a couple of fights left in me -- one or two at least," said Khan, speaking to promoter Eddie Hearn via Instagram on Friday.

"The biggest fights motivate me. When you've made so much money and won world titles, what's going to motivate you?
"A Manny Pacquiao fight is huge, wherever it was, then you have Kell Brook, another massive fight in the UK."
