Manny Pacquiao confirms boxing return in world title fight against Mario Barrios | Boxing News

Manny Pacquiao has confirmed his return to boxing with a WBC welterweight world title fight against Mario Barrios in Las Vegas.

Pacquiao bowed out of boxing almost four years ago after a glory-laden career comprising of 72 professional fights, but announced on social media that he will come out of retirement to face Barrios at the MGM Grand in just under two months’ time.

The 46-year-old is making a comeback following his involvement in the Filipino elections.
