Manny Pacquiao wants to fight Conor McGregor when he returns to the ring this summer, according to Eddie Hearn.
Other names, including Chris Eubank Jr. and Kell Brook, have been floated as potential opponents for Benn, but Hearn has stated unequivocally that Pacquiao is ready to end his retirement and face Benn.
Benn’s next fight is scheduled to be announced soon, and it is quite likely that it will take place in America or the Middle East.

After Pacquiao became interested in Benn, who has grown to be one of British boxing’s top names, Hearn has given an update on what would happen next.
“He desires a battle.” On a recent DAZN Boxing Event, Hearn told Tony Bellew that Manny Pacquiao wanted the bout.
It is both an expensive and excellent fight. Currently, we are negotiating with a number of nations to hold that battle. That is what Conor wants, but he also wants Eubank, so it is now personal.
