The greatest fighter to ever emerge from the Philippines will set aside his retirement plans and return to boxing at least once more. Manny Pacquiao has been rumored for weeks to be fighting in Las Vegas on Nov. 5 but it was just a matter of naming his opponent.
On Wednesday morning, “Pac-Man” officially revealed in a statement that Jessie Vargas will be the next man to stand opposite him inside the squared circle. There were reports that Pacquiao and his team were torn between Vargas and Terence Crawford as his opponent in the fall, but they settled on the former.
