Calm down guys. By world level he clearly he means that the winner will obviously go from having a fight that's aired on an app to fighting on an actual TV channel again. No way he believes he'll be considered a world class fighter.

Hmm, not sure. He said in January:
"I really believe I belong in that mix so I just can't wait to get in there and get my first fight out of the way.
"I'm very confident [of winning another world title] and I want to be sat here in 12 months' time as a world champion.
So only 9 months left, and he did say he would do it in three fights, so maybe he's thinking Lo Greco, then one other step-up in Aug/Sep, then a world title fight after that.
He kept saying Thurman too. Thurman has the WBA/WBC, and maybe Khan could target one of the weaker people in the WBC/WBA rankings next to try get a spot where Thurman could justify a request to have him as a mandatory (if Thurman was on board with that).
Pretty sure Hearn will find the line of least resistance.
This type of talk will have the boxing commission open an investigation for head and brain injuries and consider professional fighters to wear head gear.
