Former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley has called out legendary boxer Manny Pacquiao for a potential boxing match. Woodley, who recently faced back-to-back losses against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul, shared on social media that he has been in negotiations with Pacquiao and expressed his frustration at the lack of progress. With Pacquiao exploring multiple potential opponents for his highly anticipated return to the ring, is a clash with Woodley on the horizon? Following his departure from the UFC in 2021, Tyron Woodley has been seeking new opportunities in the world of combat sports. Despite encountering consecutive losses against Jake Paul, Woodley is determined to make his mark in the boxing arena. His latest target? None other than the legendary Manny Pacquiao. In an Instagram post, Woodley expressed his frustration at the lack of progress in finalizing a deal with Pacquiao. He called out the Filipino boxing icon, comparing his hesitations to those of Floyd Mayweather and KSI. Woodley wants to know if the fight is on or if they are merely 'f*cking around with numbers' for nothing. Pacquiao, a former eight-division world champion, retired from professional boxing in 2021 after a unanimous decision loss to Yordenis Ugás. However, he later announced his intention to return to the ring, leaving fans eagerly waiting for his next move. Since Pacquiao's announcement, various potential opponents have emerged, adding excitement to his long-awaited comeback. Initially, a superfight with Muay Thai legend Buakaw Banchamek was in discussions, but unfortunately, it was officially canceled in February. Another much-anticipated rematch against Floyd Mayweather was also teased by Pacquiao at RIZIN’s New Year’s Eve event. In addition to these options, Pacquiao has been linked to a potential matchup with rising star Conor Benn, with the pair already facing off in Saudi Arabia during the weigh-ins for the Francis Ngannou vs. Anthony Joshua fight. With his extensive list of potential opponents, Pacquiao is yet to confirm his return fight or the opponent he will face. However, the challenge from Tyron Woodley has added another enticing possibility to the mix. As fans eagerly anticipate Pacquiao's official announcement, it remains to be seen whether the boxing legend will accept Woodley's challenge. Both fighters possess immense skill and charisma, making a potential matchup an intriguing prospect for the world of combat sports. In the meantime, fight enthusiasts can only speculate and eagerly await news of Pacquiao's decision. One thing is for sure, though: the boxing world awaits the return of the 'PacMan' with bated breath. #TyronWoodley #MannyPacquiao #BoxingMatch #WoodleyvsPacquiao

Conor Benn's aspirations to step back into the British boxing ring have been dealt a significant setback as UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC) have won their appeal against the decision to lift his temporary suspension. The National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) had initially cleared Benn to resume boxing in the UK back in July, following a tumultuous period after he tested positive for the banned substance clomifene in 2022. However, this ruling was contested by the BBBofC and UKAD, leading to a prolonged legal battle. Recent reports suggest that the appeal process has concluded in favor of the BBBofC and UKAD, raising questions about Benn's future fights on home soil. While details about the outcome remain unclear, it's uncertain whether Benn's British-based suspension will be reinstated. Benn, who has maintained that the positive tests were due to accidental contamination, has competed twice in the US under foreign licenses since the controversy emerged. Despite this, he has faced hurdles in returning to the British ring, having relinquished his British license amid the ongoing dispute with the BBBofC. The crux of the matter lies in the demand for a comprehensive explanation regarding how clomifene entered Benn's system before the BBBofC is willing to reinstate his license. Despite Benn's claims of innocence and the initial ruling being hailed as a vindication, the legal proceedings have not centered on a thorough scientific examination. Part of Benn's legal argument revolves around UKAD's authority to adjudicate on samples collected by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), adding a layer of complexity to the ongoing saga. While representatives for Benn maintain that no suspension has been imposed and he remains eligible to fight, the uncertainty surrounding his future in British boxing persists, with the possibility of further legal avenues being explored, potentially including an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. #ConorBenn #BBBofC #UKAD #NADP #boxingnews
