Manny Pacquiao: 46-year-old boxing legend comes out of retirement to challenge for welterweight world title
Manny Pacquiao will come out of retirement to fight Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight championship in Las Vegas, the 46-year-old confirmed on Wednesday.
Pacquiao is the only boxer to win world championships in a record eight weight classes and in 2019 became the oldest welterweight world champion in history at 40.
Barrios has 29 wins in 32 bouts, winning 18 by knockout and losing twice. The 30-year-old has held the welterweight title since 2024 and holds a significant age advantage over Pacquiao.
