More than two years removed from his last fight, legendary eight-division world boxing champion Manny Pacquiao is coming back into the ring for yet another daunting challenge.
In a surprise announcement on Friday, Pacquiao confirmed that he will be taking on unified WBC and IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr on August 21st in Las Vegas.
You might be skeptical given Tyson Fury’s announcement that the Anthony Joshua fight was on before it quickly derailed, but this one seems legit. The Athletic’s Mike Coppinger reported that Pacquiao signed the contract and that this is a done deal for a PBC on FOX PPV.
