Manny Pacquiao comes out of retirement at age 46

Boxing legend Manny Pacquiao of Kibawe, Philippines is planning on coming out of retirement at age 46. Pacquiao will be facing WBC Welterweight champion Mario Barrios of San Antonio, Texas at MGM Grand in Las Vegas on July 19.

Barrios has had the WBC Welterweight title since September 30, 2023 when he beat Yordenis Ugas of Cuba in 12 rounds via a unanimous decision. Barrios then beat Fabian Maidana of Argentina on May 4, 2024 to retain the welterweight title. The win over Maidana was once again via a unanimous decision and went to 12 rounds. Then on November 15, 2024, Barrios fought Abel Ramos of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania to a split decision as the two boxers battled to a draw. However, due to the fact Barrios did not lose, he was able to retain his title.
