Manny Pacquiao, 47, reportedly set for Fury vs Joshua card in Cardiff with no opponent named
Netflix has yet to announce him, and Eddie Hearn has offered four British fighters, including Jack Catterall and Joe Cordina, as possible opponents.
Manny Pacquiao is reportedly in line for a place on the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua card at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on 11 December, Forbes reported, though the 47-year-old still has no opponent.
Netflix, which is showing the event, has not announced him and says its undercard bouts will be announced at a later date. Jas Mathur, chief executive of Pacquiao's MP Promotions, said: "Nobody is set, no opponent is set in stone yet."
Eddie Hearn has put forward Jack Catterall, Conah Walker, Lewis Crocker and Joe Cordina, who would have to move up from lightweight. Danny Garcia and Amir Khan have also been mentioned. Dana White has ruled out Shakur Stevenson.
Pacquiao last fought in July 2025, when he boxed a majority draw with then-WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios. A planned rematch with Floyd Mayweather was postponed indefinitely after contract disputes.
