It’s happening, folks—Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao is making his long-awaited return to the ring!

After three years away from professional boxing, the Filipino legend just confirmed he’s stepping back between the ropes on July 19, and it’s not just any comeback. Pacquiao will be challenging Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight championship in Las Vegas!

Yep, you read that right. The former eight-division world champion is going toe-to-toe with Barrios, who currently holds the interim WBC belt. And while Pacquiao may be 45, don’t count him out—if there’s one thing he’s proven over and over again, it’s that he always brings the fight.

His last bout was back in August 2021 against Yordenis Ugas, a match that ended in a tough loss and had many wondering if it marked the end of an era. But Pacman’s not done yet. He’s hungry, he’s fired up, and he’s got his eyes on another world title.

Fans from all over the world are already buzzing about this showdown, and let’s be honest—there’s nothing quite like a Pacquiao fight night. So mark your calendars, because July 19 in Vegas is shaping up to be legendary.

Pacquiao vs. Barrios: The comeback we didn’t know we needed—but we’re definitely here for it.
