On Friday, McGregor announced on Twitter that his next fight will be against legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao.
The Irishman added that the fight will take place in the Middle East.
Following that statement, Audie Attar, McGregor’s manager, confirmed that conversations were indeed taking place with Pacquiao. The fight could take place in the next December or January.
The former UFC World Champion fought his only fight in the boxing ring in 2017, when he faced former Pacquaio rival Floyd Mayweather in a very high-profile confrontation.
Anyway all the water under the bridge who cares.
Now I’m going to box Manny Pacquiao in the Middle East.– Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) September 25, 2020
Mr. Pacquiao is one of the most successful boxers of all time. The Filipino has become a world champion in eight different categories.
The 41-year-old boxer, who is actively involved in Philippine politics, is currently the WBA middleweight champion.
Pacquiao won the title last year by defeating Keith Thurman.
McGregor’s manager revealed that after fighting Pacquaio, his client could return to the UFC. This should happen in the course of 2021.
The 32-year-old athlete’s potential opponents are Tony Ferguson, Diego Sánchez and Justin Gaethje.
