We now have a date for the previously announced crossover clash between Manny Pacquiao and Buakaw Banchamek.
Emanating from Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, the eight-time boxing world champion will square off with the Muay Thai icon on April 20, 2024. Billed as ‘The Match of Legends,’ the bout will be contested under international boxing rules, in a “six three-minute rounds with two-minute breaks” format. The fighters will compete at 154 lbs, or 70kg, the equivalent of super welterweight in boxing, or junior middleweight in Muay Thai.
The winner will walk away with a cash prize of 10 million baht which translates to $289,000 and a WBC Legends Belt.
