Manny Pacquiao has been linked to fights with Conor Benn and Conor McGregor in recent times.
Pacquiao has not fought professionally since he was defeated by Yordenis Ugas in 2021 but was expected to make a return to the ring.
There had been speculation that the boxing legend and MMA star, Conor McGregor could collide but it now appears that a contest against the Irishman is unlikely due to his UFC commitments.

Sean Gibbons, speaking to BoxingScene said: “It was always really a great dream for him and Conor McGregor, but Conor’s got so much UFC business or whatever.
“Manny’s got about nine months left because he’s going to run for office again, so he’s still actively looking for something.”
McGregor makes his eagerly anticipated return to the Octagon against Michael Chandler at UFC 303.
