Manny Pacquiao is reportedly being lined up for a December fight on a major card, with two former world champions as potential opponents.
The 47-year-old ended his retirement last year with a draw against Mario Barrios and is seeking another high-profile bout. Names tied to the negotiations include Abel Sanchez and Conor Benn, though nothing has been confirmed.
Pacquiao’s return to the ring came after a long layoff, and the WBC has been central to discussions around his next move. Ryan Garcia, the reigning WBC welterweight champion, has been hunting for a December opponent of his own after stopping Conor Benn earlier this month, and has claimed Isaac Cruz has ducked him three times.
Whether Pacquiao’s path crosses with any of those fighters remains to be seen, but the December timing puts him in the mix for one of the biggest months on the boxing calendar.
