Manny Pacquiao confirms boxing comeback on Jan 24, 2026

Manny Pacquiao has confirmed his return to the boxing ring on January 24, 2026, in Las Vegas.

The Filipino icon, who will turn 47 in December, announced the exact date of his ring return in a video.

While no opponent has been officially named, WBA welterweight champion Rolly Romero is the frontrunner to face Pacquiao.

Romero's come-forward style and his world title make him the likely choice for Pacquiao's comeback fight.

Pacquiao aims to become the oldest welterweight titlist in boxing history with this potential bout.
