Manny Pacquiao Eyes Title Shot Against IBF Champion Liam Paro
Manny Pacquiao is on the hunt for a new opponent after Floyd Mayweather's rematch was postponed, with IBF welterweight champion Liam Paro emerging as a potential challenger.
Following the postponement of his highly anticipated rematch with Floyd Mayweather, Manny Pacquiao is actively seeking a new opponent for later this year. The rematch, initially set for September, has been thrown into uncertainty due to Mayweather facing a $4.65 million lawsuit from CSI Sports Events.
With no clear path to rescheduling the Mayweather bout, Pacquiao's team is exploring options, and one promising candidate is newly-crowned IBF welterweight champion Liam Paro. Paro recently captured the title with a unanimous decision victory over Lewis Crocker, marking his ascent to two-weight world champion status.
Paro's promoter, George Rose, expressed eagerness to host Pacquiao in Queensland, Australia, stating, "I would love to have any one of them down here, any day of the week." Pacquiao, who last fought in Queensland in 2017, could be motivated by the chance to become the oldest welterweight world champion in history if he secures a win against the 17-years-younger Paro.
