Australian boxer Jeff Horn will find out this week if his dream fight with Manny Pacquiao in July is finally to become a reality.
Boxing promoter Bob Arum has placed a Thursday (AEDT) deadline on the Filipino legend's camp to decide if he'll fight the Brisbane welterweight.
"They have to make a decision by Wednesday (Thursday Manila time)," Top Rank boss Arum told the Manila Bulletin.
Arum is keen on a Horn-Pacquiao bout that is back on the cards after an agreement for the pair to face off in April was torn up as Pacquiao unsuccessfully chased a lucrative deal in the United Arab Emirates.
They were slated to fight at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.

Arum said if Pacquiao decides against meeting Horn in July, his next fight would likely be in November.
