World Boxing Superstar Manny Pacquiao had announced his retirement from his career three years ago. However, his presence was well-known although he has not left the boxing scene all these years, and there are still rumors about his possible comeback anytime soon.
Pacquiao prepared for comeback
Recently, Pacquiao went to Saudi Arabia as one of the advisers at the Royal Court Turki Al-Sheikh for the heavyweight bout between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou.
During Joshua and Nganno’s weigh-in, he went to face off undefeated British boxer Conor Benn which became the talk among speculators. Could Conor Benn and Pacquiao fight one another in a huge 147lb bout, some are asking!

Sean Gibbons, Manny Pacquiao’s right-hand man and head of MP Productions, called what happened as a “feeding frenzy like the fight was happening.”
Gibbons said, “Manny Pacquiao has had the itch to fight ever since his political campaign ended… So if the opportunity comes up and his excellency wants this fight in Saudi Arabia, Manny Pacquiao is ready to go.”
More so, Al Sheikh, the one who oversees the sports and entertainment events in Saudi Arabia, is more than ready to witness Pacquiao make a reappearance in his country, which is now considered as a hub for boxing competitions.
In other news, Anthony Joshua hopes to defeat Francis Ngannou and make his own statement.
