JAKARTA - Manny Pacquiao announced shocking news in early 2023. The former Filipino will return to the ring!
Previously Pacquiao had declared his retirement as a professional boxer in September 2021. He had returned to the ring and won during an exhibition fight against South Korean YouTuber, DK Yoo on December 11, 2022.
In 2023, Pacquiao will return to appear in the ring under RIZIN's banner. This was discovered when Pacquiao was present as a guest star for RIZIN in Tokyo on New Year's Eve.
"He (Manny Pacquiao) agreed to fight in RIZIN next year," wrote a statement quoted by The Sun.
Even though they have agreed, the opponent for the legend has yet to be determined, as is the date of implementation. Even so Pacquiao remains eager to look forward to Japan's opponents.
"I'm excited to fight whoever the Japanese fighter is," said Manny Pacquiao.
RIZIN is a Japanese mixed martial arts or boxing organization. The boxing organization was founded in 2015 by former president of Pride Fighting Championships and Dream Stage Entertainment, Nobuyuki Sakakibara.
Pacquiao himself is not the first legendary boxer to work with RIZIN. As long as Floyd Mayweather has also fought in an exhibition fight with the organization.
