Filipino boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is reportedly in talks for a potential mega-fight against four-division world champion Shakur Stevenson before the end of 2026.
Reports said negotiations between the two camps are already at an advanced stage, although no deal has been finalized, with the bout being considered at the 147-pound welterweight limit.
The proposed fight could pit the 47-year-old Pacquiao against the unbeaten 29-year-old Stevenson, who has a 25-0 record with 11 knockouts.
Pacquiao has not fought since his majority draw with Mario Barrios in July 2025 and has been training for his planned rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The Stevenson fight could give Pacquiao another major challenge if the negotiations progress and the bout pushes through.
