"I'm boxing Manny Pacquiao next in the Middle East," he said on separate tweet.
Meanwhile, Pacquiao's camp confirmed the upcoming fight with the UFC superstar, however details of the match are still being finalized. Part of the proceeds from the fight will be given to the coronavirus victims in the Philippines.
In 2017, McGregor lost his pro boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather, who then retired with unbeaten record, 50-0.
Pacquiao, 41, who hold eight different divisions world titles beat Keith Thurman in July.
