Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor reported on his Twitter account that he will face Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao.

The future fight that had been forging through various negotiations since 2017 will finally be a reality.

The Irishman published the revelation on his Twitter account and even gave the information of where the fight will be, in the Middle East, although it remains to be known when the brawl will take place.

    "I'm going to box with Manny Pacquiao in the Middle East," was the only thing the Irishman said to thrill as a preview.

Later, in another message, the former UFC champion was pleased to have the opportunity to face the current holder of the World Boxing Association welterweight belt.

"It will be a true honor to have faced 2 of the greatest boxers of the modern era."

This would be Conor's second experience in the world of professional boxing and it must be remembered that he faced Floyd Mayweather Jr. in August 2017, where he came out with defeat.

This is how McGregor announced his fight against Pacquiao:

    "Anyway all water under the bridge who gives a fook.
    I'm boxing Manny Pacquiao next in the Middle East."

Pacquiao's office said per talkSPORT: "For the sake of all the Filipino Covid-19 victims, Senator Manny Pacquiao will be fighting UFC superstar Conor McGregor next year."

"The huge portion of his earnings will proceed to those who are affected nationwide by the pandemic."
