Manny Pacquiao is set for his first fight in two years when he faces unified welterweight world champion Errol Spence Jr in August.

Manny Pacquiao

The 42-year-old has not fought since he beat Keith Therman for the WBA welterweight title in July 2019.

He announced on Twitterexternal-link that he will meet 31-year-old Spence Jr in Las Vegas on 21 August in what would be his 72nd professional fight.

Pacquiao, who is a serving senator in the Philippines, has a 62-7-2 record.

He is aiming to win a world title in a fourth decade after first claiming the WBC flyweight belt in 1998. He has won world titles at eight different weights in his 26-year pro career.

Spence Jr, who has a 27-0 record, claimed victory over Danny Garcia in December in his first fight since a serious car crash in 2019 that left him in intensive care.

Confirming the fight on Instagram, Spence Jr wrote: “Done deal! See y’all in Vegas for the biggest fight of the year.”
