WBO world welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan say they have agreed to terms for a fight on April 23. Pacquiao, who came out of retirement to win the WBO belt by beating Jesse Vargas in November, says on his Twitter account that he is fighting Khan because ''this is what the fans wanted.'' Pacquiao's followers on Twitter recently voted for Khan to be the 38-year-old Filipino's next opponent, ahead of Jeff Horn of Australia, Terence Crawford of the United States or Kell Brook of Britain.
