On July 19, 46-year-old Manny Pacquiao will be returning to the ring for a professional fight for the first time in almost exactly four years in order to face Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight belt.

At 46 years old, boxing legend Manny Pacquiao is promising that "the old Manny will be back" as he makes his professional return against Mario Barrios on July 19.

Pacquiao retired from pro boxing in 2021, just a month after his loss to Yordenis Ugas. In a lengthy video posted on his social media at the time, Pac-Man admitted that it was "difficult" for him to accept that his boxing days were over, adding that he "never thought that this day would come."
