Despite the impending movement of the long-awaited Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury heavyweight battle across the Atlantic to Cardiff, Wales, a “double main event” of Manny Pacquiao-Shakur Stevenson continues to be part of the effort, BoxingScene confirmed Wednesday.
Discussions remain ongoing for a proposed bout between Manny Pacquiao and Shakur Stevenson to feature on the undercard of Anthony Joshua versus Tyson Fury. According to individuals connected to the talks, Netflix wants the doubleheader to take place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with target dates set for December 11 or December 18.
Bout agreements have not yet been delivered to either fighter, according to Pacquiao's advisor Jas Mathur. Stevenson's promoter, Zuffa Boxing, is in discussions with Mathur, while an official fight announcement for the Joshua-Fury main event could arrive as soon as this week.
