Eight-division boxing champion and future Hall-of-Famer Manny Pacquiao is slated to make his return to the United States in early 2019.
Pacquiao recently announced at a press conference in Manila that he’ll be fighting former world champion Adrien Broner (33-3-1, 24 KOs). He said that the fight will happen either January 12th or January 19th, and that the deal is “90% done.” ESPN says that January 19th is the date, Las Vegas is the venue, but Pacquiao’s problems with the IRS have to be squared away before he can entertain the idea of his first United States fight since 2016.
