Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao has been called out by former UFC champion.
Pacquiao is widely considered to be one of the best boxers of this generation. He made his professional boxing debut in 1995 and went on to win world titles in eight different weight divisions. He was last seen in action against Yordenis Ugas in 2021 and lost the bout via unanimous decision.
Since then, Manny Pacquiao has been teased for an exhibition bout a number of times. However, none of those have happened as of yet. Most recently, he was called out by former UFC welterweight champion, Tyron Woodley.
Woodley parted ways with the UFC in 2021 and went on to fight Jake Paul twice and lost both fights, first via a split decision and second via knockout. He recently took to Instagram and suggested that he had been in discussions with Pacquiao for two months.
While further calling out Manny Pacquiao for a fight, Tyron Woodley said, “@mannypacquiao we been f**king around with these numbers for two months. Are we fighting or what!? You acting like Floyd and KSI! capitalizing on Clout SMH”

Is Manny Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather again?
Manny Pacquiao took on Floyd Mayweather back in 2015. On the night, he lost his WBO welterweight title by losing the fight via unanimous decision. The bout stands as the biggest fight to have ever happened in the history of boxing in terms of pay-per-view sales.
A few months ago, Pacquiao announced that he would be taking on Mayweather later this year in an exhibition fight. However, his claims were brushed off by ‘Money’ as he claimed there is a right time to speak about everything and Pacquiao shouldn’t have spoken about it.
That said, it remains to be seen if the two will actually lock horns again later this year or not.
