Manny Pacquiao has been warned he faces a "real fight" by Jaber Zayani after the pair signed to meet in a February exhibition bout.
Pacquiao hung up his gloves last year after losing to Yordenis Ugas in his final outing before focusing on his presidential campaign in his native Phillipines. After losing out in the political race, Pacquiao has elected to return to the ring and will first take on YouTuber DK Yoo in South Korea on December 10.
The boxing legend has now agreed to another outing following his first showcase, which is expected to take place against Frenchman Zayani next February at King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Pacquiao's former sparring partner is delighted to receive the opportunity and believes it is his chance to become a household name in boxing.
