Manny Pacquiao Sends 4 Word Warning To Gervonta Davis As He Targets ‘Dream’ Fight After Barrios

Manny Pacquiao is just weeks away from making a sensational return to the sport at 46-years-old.

The Filipino icon will challenge reigning WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on Saturday July 19 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Pacquiao last fought back in 2021 when he was beaten by former WBA welterweight champion Yordenis Ugas, but the 46-year-old has now set his sights on becoming the oldest welterweight champion of all time.

With rumours circulating that ‘Pac-Man’ is also considering facing lightweight star Gervonta Davis, the Filipino great revealed in an interview with Seconds Out that he would be willing to fight anybody’ including WBA lightweight champion Davis, stating he’s ‘not scared of anybody’.

“I can fight anybody, even like Gervonta Davis … I’m not scared of anybody.”

In a separate interview with World Boxing News, Pacquiao’s promoter Sean Gibbons claimed that a showdown with ‘Tank’ Davis would be a dream fight for the 46-year-old, should he be victorious over Barrios next month.

“When he beats Mario Barrios, line them up. His dream fight is Gervonta Davis. He loves that fight. He tried to get that fight for a couple of years. Gervonta kept talking about how he didn’t want to fight him at 145. Then he goes and gets smoked by Lamont Roach. So Manny Pacquiao can get this belt, and it’s going to be a wonderful ride out.”

Davis is expected to face Lamont Roach Jr in a rematch later this year, after their March showdown ended in controversy following a closely fought contest at the Barclays Center in New York which was declared a split decision draw.
