The Boxing World Awaits Pacquiao's Return

Get ready for one of the most anticipated bouts in boxing history! Manny Pacquiao, the legendary Filipino boxer, is stepping back into the ring to face WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas this Saturday night. After a four-year retirement, Pacquiao is looking to reclaim glory against the younger Barrios.

A Historic Clash

At the age of 46, Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) is not just returning to boxing; he could make history by becoming the second-oldest major world champion ever and the oldest in any division below light heavyweight! This comeback follows his retirement after a decision loss to Yordenis Ugas in late 2021. Despite the break, Pacquiao did step into the ring for two exhibition matches recently, but this fight is the real deal.

Barrios: The Rising Star

Mario Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KOs) is set to put his title on the line against the living legend. At just 30 years old, he’s 16 years Pacquiao's junior and is coming off a split-draw match against Abel Ramos last November. Barrios captured the WBC welterweight belt with a victory over Ugas in 2023, defending it successfully twice since. He’s eager to prove he belongs on the big stage.
