Before his fight against Luke Campbell for the Interim strap, Garcia vowed to fight ‘Tank’ next. However, he also desired to fight Manny Pacquiao somewhere down the line, and hailed the octuple champion as a legend.

While Gervonta Davis had already accepted Garcia’s offer, the fight can take some more time to happen. According to ESPN Ringside, Athletic has reported a fight between Garcia and Pacquiao is in the preliminary discussion stage. Although it’s not a done deal yet, there is a ray of hope for the same.

Akin to Garcia vs Davis, Pacquiao was also rumored to fight UFC star Conor McGregor in a boxing clash. But, following McGregor’s loss against Poirier, he will want to focus on his UFC career. Hence, the Filipino senator can return to the ring against Ryan Garcia. Speaking with FightHype.com, Garcia has also teased the matchup.
