The PacMan, eight-division world champ, is jumping back in the ring in 2026!
“Hello to all my boxing fans, I’m excited to let you know I will be returning to the ring January 24 in Las Vegas,” Manny Pacquiao said in an Instagram reel.
“It is going to be an exciting and special event. Stay tuned, more news to come on my opponent in the next few days,” he added.
The living legend will have celebrated his 47th before then, yet shows no signs of slowing down since breaking his hiatus in a face-off with Mario Barrios, World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight titleholder, whom he almost beat.
Pacquiao has previously revealed that he was close to finalizing a deal to test his mettle against World Boxing Association (WBA) welterweight top dog, Rolando “Rolly” Romero.
The Filipino icon was inducted into the prestigious International Boxing Hall of Fame (IBHOF) on June 8 this year as part of the Class of 2025, joining his long-time trainer Freddie Roach and his fellow countryman Gabriel “Flash” Elorde in the venerated halls.
