Manny Pacquiao will face Errol Spence Jr. on August 21 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, for the WBC, IBF, and vacant The Ring welterweight titles.
Manny Pacquiao is on a 3 fight winning streak and looks phenomenal for 42 years of age
The Filipino boxing legend has his eyes set on a monstrous challenge in Errol Spence Jr. Manny Pacquiao, the former eight-division champ, will look to achieve the unthinkable when he'll go guns-blazing against the undefeated American.
'Pacman' has recently been on a run since 2018 when he defeated Lucas Matthysse, Adrien Broner, and Keith Thurman. However, Pacquiao faces a different kind of challenge in Spence Jr. That said, the veteran pugilist seems to be in incredibly good shape for his upcoming fight, as was visible in a speed bag routine recently uploaded online.
The 31-year-old Spence, who seems to be in his prime, will bring his usual A-game and try to defend his WBC and IBF welterweight world titles against Pacquiao, who is now unsurprisingly past his prime at the age of 42.
Errol Spence Jr. has an impressive undefeated resume of 27-0 and will look to add one more to his tally on August 21. He has beaten the likes of Danny Garcia, Shawn Porter, Mikey Garcia, Lamont Peterson, and Kell Brook among other great fighters.
