Manny Pacquiao continues to make waves regarding an imminent comeback as the 45-year-old continues training for his next fight.
The Filipino legend looks to have lost one opponent but found another, as a former MMA star who a YouTuber knocked out says talks have taken place.
Farlier in the week, Conor Benn’s chances of facing Pacquiao slimmed when the British welterweight saw an appeal over a temporary suspension in the UK overturned. Benn’s future is unclear until a statement underlines whether Benn will be suspended for an indefinite period of time.
Pacquiao was seen shaking hands with the undefeated Londoner in Saudi Arabia, which was a clear ploy to gauge interest in the pair fighting.
If Benn is out, then ex-UFC star Tyron Woodley wants in. The twice-Jake Paul defeated fighter revealed negotiations had been underway for two months.
Manny Pacquiao’s comeback opponent “Manny Pacquiao, we have been f—king around with these numbers for two months,” said Woodley. “Are we fighting or what!? You are acting like Floyd [Mayweather] and [another YouTuber] itslizing [sic] on clout. SMH.”
Woodley failed to get a response from the eight-weight boxing legend as Pacquiao fans scratched their heads and boxing fans groaned at the notion.
