Manny Pacquiao lost a highly disputed decision to Jeff Horn last July, and early planning stages for a rematch had been originally penciled in for November. According to multiple reports, that isn’t the case anymore.
Horn’s promoter also confirmed this, saying that the Pacquiao, who is also a senator in the Philippines, will have other duties that would prevent him from having a proper training camp.
“Manny Pacquiao has decided that he will not be competing in a rematch with Jeff Horn in 2017,” Horn’s promoter Dean Lonergan told the Daily Telegraph in Australia.
