Manny Pacquiao has revealed that negotiations are underway for a potential title fight against Mario Barrios. While the details of the bout are still being worked out, Pacquiao expressed optimism about the possibility of facing Barrios for the WBC welterweight title. The fight has not been finalized yet, but discussions are ongoing and hinted at a potential timeframe for the bout in November or December.
In addition to this, Pacquiao is also focusing on his upcoming three-round boxing exhibition against Japanese MMA fighter Chihiro Suzuki on July 28. Unlike an exhibition, Pacquiao emphasized that this would be a competitive fight with the intent to secure a knockout. He assured fans that there would be plenty of action in the ring and vowed to do his best to secure a victory by knockout.
Despite his loss in the race for the presidency of the Philippines in 2022, Pacquiao remains a legendary figure in the world of boxing with an impressive career record of 62 wins, 8 losses, and 2 draws. Suzuki recognizes the challenge of facing such a renowned opponent and views the bout as not only an honor but also a significant test that he must overcome.
The fight promises to be a memorable and thrilling encounter between two formidable athletes who have both shown their skills in their respective sports.
