In a short response, fighting senator Manny Pacquiao made it clear that if he were given a chance the pick, he would fight UFC superstar Conor McGregor first on his 2021 boxing return.
“I want to experience to fight an MMA fighter,” said Pacquiao in an interview with ABS-CBN.
A few weeks back, Pacquiao confirmed that he would fight McGregor in 2021, but their meeting could be push late next year after McGregor agreed to a UFC fight in the first quarter. Meanwhile, Pacquiao has to defend his WBA super welterweight belt as well, or the boxing body will strip the belt to the only eight-division world champion.
Additionally, Pacquiao revealed ongoing talks in a movie about his life to be released by Netflix, a famous movie/series streaming platform.
Characters to portray one of the best tandems in boxing history are Rami Malek as Pacquiao and Leonardo DiCaprio as Freddie Roach.
He added that this is not the only movie that reached out to him. According to Pacquiao, a total of three movies are interested in making a movie revolving about his life and boxing career.
However, the progress paused due to the pandemic, and Pacquiao is busy doing his job as a Philippine senator.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
