Manny Pacquiao vs. Keith Thurman official for July 20th on FOX PPV

Manny Pacquiao is returning to the ring just two months from now.

A month after it was reported that the 40-year-old boxing icon was targeted for a fight against WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman, it was made official on Saturday that Pacquiao vs. Thurman will take place on July 20th in Las Vegas, Nevada. The venue is to be determined, but we do know it’s going to be on FOX pay-per-view instead of Showtime.

Thurman (29-0-1 NC, 22 KOs) last fought in January, returning from nearly two years away from the sport due to injuries.
