Pacquiao has not fought since July 2019, when he claimed a split decision victory over American boxer Keith Thurman to secure a welterweight championship. A possible fight against MMA superstar Conor McGregor was derailed when the Irishman lost to Dustin Poirier by knockout at UFC 257 yesterday.

ABS-CBN News has reached out to Pacquiao's camp for comment.
