The iconic boxing veteran 44-year-old Filipino Manny Pacquiao plans to resume his professional performances. Rumors confirmed by the boss MP Promotions and fighter advisor Sean Gibbons.
If the legend’s comeback takes place, then it will not happen in the USA – Pacquiao has an offer from Abu Dhabi (UAE). And even potential rivals.
Tells Gibbons: You’ve heard it yourself… There’s talk of a fight with Conor Benn. Kell Brook and a few other fighters are also mentioned. I’ll tell you so. Benn needs to clear his name first (after the doping scandal). Meanwhile, Manny remains active. He’s training, he’s ready. There is still a lot left in him that he would like to share with the fans. And the most important thing is that he still wants to fight. So I just hope that Benn can sort this out. And if not, then you can have a fight with Brook or someone else. It’s up to the fans to decide…”
The promoter confirmed that so far the negotiations are “up in the air”, there are no specifics. And here’s Eddie Hearn from Matchroom Boxing announced the expected date of the fight – June 3. He even has an alternate fight for that date. Guess which one? Keep a hint.
It’s funny that Benn got rid of the doping scandal with eggs. No, this is not a joke!
