A potential boxing match between Manny Pacquiao and Conor McGregor might actually happen.
Following a tweet from the former two-division UFC champion teasing a showdown with Pacquiao on Friday, the multi-time boxing champion’s camp has now also confirmed that talks are ongoing to make the fantasy fight turn into a reality.
According to Pacquiao’s assistant Jayke Joson in a statement released to ESPN, the 41-year-old boxer is definitely interested in a fight with McGregor, who currently boasts a 0-1 record in the sport following a 10th round TKO loss to Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
