Manny Pacquiao expected on the Fury vs. Joshua undercard in Cardiff

Manny Pacquiao is expected to fight on the undercard of Tyson Fury vs. Anthony Joshua according to multiple reports that surfaced Tuesday.

Netflix card in Cardiff

The heavyweight main event is scheduled for Dec. 11 2026 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff and will stream on Netflix. Pacquiao at 47 would add another marquee name to a card that has already drawn global attention.

Reporting around the booking says Netflix still owes Pacquiao a bout after a planned Floyd Mayweather rematch at the Sphere did not happen. That debt is now expected to be paid on the Fury-Joshua show.

Opponent still open

No opponent has been announced. Names floated in recent weeks have included Jack Catterall, Joe Cordina and Kell Brook. Amir Khan has said he is interested but would not be ready for a December date.

Pacquiao's most recent fight was a majority draw with Mario Barrios in a world-title bout. A return on a Netflix mega-card would keep him in the welterweight conversation if a title fight can be arranged.

What to watch

Official confirmation from the promoters and Netflix would lock in the date weight and opponent. Until then Pacquiao's place on the Cardiff undercard is the clearest update since talks quieted earlier this fall.
