The two decided to battle in 2023. But until the last several weeks, no date had been set. For the clash, both fighters are currently in their respective camps.
Sean Gibbons, Pacquiao’s right-hand man, uploaded a video of the fighter starting his workout. Since then, the Filipino sensation has up the ante.
Following his announcement that he plans to return to professional fighting following the Buakaw headliner, the bout will be Pacquiao’s first significant event since his retirement in 2021.
In December in Japan, a rematch with Floyd Mayweather is already scheduled. But a full comeback to the sport is anticipated for Mayweather II in the later summer.
On Pacquiao’s “Pac-Man” hit list are Conor McGregor, Ryan Garcia, and Gervonta Davis. Pacquiao wants to earn tens of millions of dollars before retiring.

Buakaw
One of the main reasons Pacquiao is honouring his pledge to take on the Muay Thai great is the $25 million purse for the first bout, against Buakaw.
The idea of Manny Pacquiao competing in the Olympics is also intriguing. Gibbons said that they are still expecting a formal ruling when reached by World Boxing News.
His professional goals will have to wait until at least 2025 if he can represent the Philippines in Paris 2024.
The Mayweather comeback will take centre stage after the summer is finished since RIZIN is prepared to host the bout on New Year’s Eve in Japan.
