Manny Pacquiao will look to mark his return with a victory over Errol Spence Jr.
Manny Pacquiao vs. Errol Spence Jr. is being called Generational Showdown and will be contested for the WBC, IBF, and vacant The Ring welterweight titles. The two men will cross paths on August 21 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Back in May, Manny Pacquiao made the unexpected announcement of his fight against Spence Jr. The fight will be Pacquiao's first bout since fighting Keith Thurman in 2019 and defeating him via split decision for Thurman's WBA (super) welterweight title.
Having been unbeaten since his loss to Jeff Horn in 2017, Manny Pacquiao will aim to make his return to action with a huge win. However, it would be quite a task for 'Pac-Man' to get past his next opponent, who is yet to suffer a loss in his professional boxing career.
A fight between a veteran 42-year-old and an undefeated 31-year-old has all the makings of an instant classic. It will be interesting to see how the seasoned warhorse approaches his new foe, who is undoubtedly in his prime.
