Team Pacquiao has approached John Ingle about the possibility of a Junior Witter match in May, according to the former WBC champion's manager.
Ingle said that Team Pacquiao is currently shopping for a May opponent for Pacquiao as Hatton doesn't seem to be too keen in facing the P4P best fighter in the planet. Mayweather Jr. is also reportedly being considered as a possible alternative but the former P4P #1 doesn't want to fight earlier than December.
Witter is coming off a KO win over Argentina's Victor Castro last November after suffering his only professional defeat early last year, a split decision loss at the hands of Tim Bradley in a fight where Witter suffered the first knock down of his career.
Ingle said that the 34-year-old former world champion was both happy and surprised that he was being considered by Pacquiao as a replacement for countryman Ricky Hatton, a guy who has been ducking him for years.
However, Ingle said that Team Pacquiao's priority remains a showdown with Ricky Hatton, who is the current Ring Magazine light welterweight champion.
