Manny Pacquiao's next match is coming together.
Pacquiao will fight Jessie Vargas on Nov. 5, his manager Michael Koncz told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.
The two sides are expected to meet next week to discuss where the bout will take place, with Las Vegas looking like the front-runner. Dubai is also an option.
Vargas (27-1) was chosen over other candidates whose style didn't "fit" Pacquiao, Koncz told the Times.
Pacquio (58-6-2) last fought April 9, defeating Timothy Bradley and announcing his retirement. That didn't last long, though.
