Manny Pacquiao has waited more than a decade for a rematch with Floyd Mayweather. And just when it appeared the long-awaited sequel might finally happen, the fight once again seems to be slipping away. Will Pacquiao keep waiting for Mayweather or turn his attention to another opponent? At 47 years old, he’s also chasing history by trying to break his own record as the oldest welterweight champion. So is a title fight a better option next?
Mayweather, meanwhile, had exhibition bouts lined up against Mike Tyson and kickboxer Mike Zambidis, but neither has materialized because of various legal issues. Will Mayweather find a way to the ring before the end of the year?
Heavyweight contender Moses Itauma has looked unstoppable, winning his past 10 fights by stoppage, including demolishing victories against Dillian Whyte in August 2025 and Jermaine Franklin Jr. in March. He faces Filip Hrgovic on Aug. 29, and with Oleksandr Usyk vacating his WBA, IBF and WBC titles, could Itauma earn a world title shot before year’s end?
Gervonta “Tank” Davis hasn’t fought since March 2025 but is looking to get back in the ring as soon as possible. Can he fight this year amid his recent legal issues?
