Conor Benn might end up going to war with a boxing legend.
‘The Destroyer’ hasn’t fought since losing to Chris Eubank Jr. at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in April.
While most are expecting Benn to pursue a rematch with his biggest rival, that isn’t the only option potentially on the table for the Brit.
With a desire to become world champion still burning bright, he’d love to share the ring with an icon.
WOW: Would Manny Pacquiao have beaten Floyd Mayweather before loss to Juan Manuel Marquez?
Conor Benn could fight Manny Pacquiao
On July 19, Manny Pacquiao will challenge Mario Barrios for the WBC world title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
However, while the Filipino would’ve been a huge favorite in his prime, the days of Pacquiao destroying David Diaz, are undeniably in the rearview mirror.
Regardless, should he get through his American foe, then not only will Pacquiao have made history by becoming the oldest welterweight champion in boxing history, but he will have also unlocked another superfight.
Determined to scale the combat sports mountain, Conor Benn has his sights firmly set on claiming the famous green and gold belt.
He tweeted: “I want that WBC world title.”
Manny Pacquiao backed by boxing legend to beat Mario Barrios
While Pacquiao is an underdog going into his clash with Barrios, some expect him to emerge victorious.
His fans believe their hero is capable of rolling back the years one last time.
In addition, a legend also thinks the southpaw can come out on top.
This icon said why he’s backing Pacquiao to beat Barrios.
