Manny Pacquiao may be closing in on a deal to fight
Rolando "Rolly" Romero, but there are two other names under consideration to fight the Filipino legend next.
The Ring's Mike Coppinger revealed on the latest episode of "Inside The Ring" on DAZN that
Gervonta Davis and
Conor Benn are also in the running.
Pacquiao ended his retirement at 46 this summer and fought to a
disputed majority draw with WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios.
The eight-weight champ's return to the sport won't end with that fight, however, as he's likely to fight WBA 147-pound titleholder Romero in January.
If that fight doesn't come to fruition, though, Coppinger says Davis or Benn could land the assignment.
Davis will take on Jake Paul in an exhibition fight live on Netflix Nov. 14.
Benn will rematch Chris Eubank Jr. in a 12-round middleweight contest on "The Ring: Unfinished Business" a day later at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, live on
DAZN PPV.
