It looks like Floyd Mayweather’s gloves won’t be left hanging up for long – who saw that coming?
Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has revealed he is negotiating with Mayweather and Amir Khan to slug it out in what would be his last fight before retirement.
Speaking at the AIBA World Boxing Championships in Doha, Pacquaio told AFP a final decision on who his last opponent will be, would be taken by “November or December”.
The 36-year-old is close to quitting boxing to focus full time on his career in politics and is likely to run for a seat in the Philippines’ senate next May.
Pacquiao confirmed he is in negotiations with both Mayweather and Khan but admitted he had no preference between the two, according to Rappler.
“I will fight anybody, anywhere. I am going to fight probably before the election. The election is coming next year, May, and before that I will probably have one fight. We are going to finalize by November or December.”
He also told AFP he would consider running for the country’s president if it is “God’s will”.
