Manny Pacquiao boxing news
Manny Pacquiao was in the house on Saturday night, to watch the heavily hyped fight between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia, and the body shot KO Garcia suffered brought back painful memories for the living legend.
It looks like there is a chance living legend Manny Pacquiao will fight Conor Benn next after all. As fans know, there was talk of the 44 year old all-time great coming back to fight the controversial British welterweight (who is still fighting to clear his name after failing two drugs tests ahead of last year’s big domestic fight with Chris Eubank Junior; Benn later having his British license taken away) – before Benn seemed to switch targets in getting the Eubank Jr fight back on.
Living legend Manny Pacquiao says it is “an amazing grace from God” that he is still as fast and as agile as he is at his current age of 44.
For a fighter who is still to clear his good name in the opinion of many people, Conor Benn has plenty of options.
Retiring from the sport of boxing and sticking to it. It could be seen as one of the hardest things to do.
Manny Pacquiao is in talks for a massive fight in Abu Dhabi against Conor Benn on June 3rd. The 44-year-old Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) is coming out of two-year retirement, and the 26-year-old Benn (21-0, 14 KOs) could be his first opponent in resuming his career.
Manny Pacquiao WILL fight again. And not merely in an exhibition bout or bouts. Sean Gibbons has sent a tweet to Yahoo Sports, putting it out how the living legend “began to train today” and “is looking for a fight to end his retirement.”
It seems there IS a good chance living legend and all-time great Manny Pacquiao WILL fight again. A short whole back, some chatter emerged that suggested the 44 year old superstar might fight troubled British fighter Conor Benn in what would be a return fight for both men – with Eddie Hearn telling us all not to be surprised if the fight does happen (or words to that effect).
Fans have long since felt something was amiss on the night back in 2010 when tough and capable welterweight contender, former IBF champ Joshua Clottey fought Manny Pacquiao in what was the biggest fight in the career of the warrior from Ghana.
Here comes talk of a possible, if unlikely fight, that has come right out of left-field. Eddie Hearn, in speaking with Boxing King Media, has stated how a fight between living legend Manny Pacquiao and the currently-banned Conor Benn has been spoken about as a possibility; the fight having reached the stage of undergoing “minor discussions.”
