In October 2018, the WBC stated they would likely order Linares to fight Adrien Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs) in a final eliminator, as long as they abide by the code of ethics. The fight was put in doubt after it was announced that Broner would fight former eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao in January 2019.
