A Hall of Fame great remains interested in a potential future showdown with three-weight world champion Gervonta Davis.
Davis currently reigns as the WBA lightweight champion with his most recent defence coming against countryman Lamont Roach Jr back in March, although their New York City meeting ended in a controversial majority decision draw.
The 30-year-old from Baltimore has racked up 28 stoppage victories since making his professional debut, defeating the likes of Ryan Garcia, Rolando Romero and Leo Santa Cruz inside the scheduled distance.
He is now preparing for an exhibition clash with Jake Paul on November 14, but Davis appears to be on the radar of Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao, who made a sensational comeback to the sport back in July.
As revealed by Mike Coppinger on the Inside The Ring Show, Pacquiao is said to be keen on a potential clash with Davis in the near future.
“I spoke to Pacquiao’s adviser Sean Gibbons who also runs his promotional company, he says the three names they are looking at are Rolly Romero, Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Conor Benn. Those are the fights for Manny right now, whether they are the first or the second fight, those are the guys he’s looking at.”
In a separate interview with Seconds Out, the eight-division world champion claimed that he ‘isn’t scared’ of facing someone of Davis’ calibre, despite him being on the verge of turning 47-years-old.
‘PacMan’ made his return to the ring against reigning WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on July 19, fighting to a majority decision draw against ‘El Azteca’ in Las Vegas.
The 46-year-old is expected to make his 74th ring appearance in the early stages of 2026, with reports suggesting that he could lock horns with WBA welterweight champion ‘Rolly’ Romero next.
