In 2024, Manny Pacquiao is set to make a comeback to the world of boxing and fight for the WBC welterweight title. Despite being 45 years old and not having boxed since his 2021 defeat to Yordenis Ugas, Pacquiao has caught the attention of WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, who has expressed his confidence in the legendary fighter’s ability to compete with any opponent.
Pacquiao had announced his retirement after that bout with Ugas, but Sulaiman has left the door open for him to return to world championship action. The WBC welterweight title is currently vacant, and Pacquiao is eyeing a potential championship bout with Mario Barrios. Negotiations for the fight are still ongoing, but if it materializes, it would be a sensational event that would captivate fans around the world.
Pacquiao won his first world championship, the WBC flyweight title, more than two decades ago and his return to the WBC for a welterweight title fight in 2024 would be nothing short of remarkable. Despite being away from boxing for some time now, Pacquiao remains a competitive and formidable fighter who is sure to give any opponent a run for their money.
