Manny Pacquiao Unretires for WBC Title Fight Against Mario Barrios

Boxing icon Manny Pacquiao is making a sensational return to the ring after nearly four years, set to challenge Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title on July 19, 2025, in Las Vegas. The Filipino legend, who last fought in August 2021, aims to reclaim championship glory in a pay-per-view event broadcast by PBC on Prime Video.

Pacquiao, an eight-division world champion, stepped away from boxing after a unanimous decision loss to Yordenis Ugas in 2021 to focus on his political career, serving as a Philippine senator from 2016 to 2022. Now campaigning for the upper house in the May 12, 2025, Philippine elections, Pacquiao has yet to announce his return formally, but confirmations from boxing officials solidify the matchup. WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman announced the fight during the Canelo Alvarez–William Scull bout in Saudi Arabia, calling it a “tremendous fight.”

Pacquiao aims to retire as WBC welterweight champion, adding to his historic eight-division titles.

Pacquiao vs. Barrios: A High-Stakes Showdown

Mario Barrios, a formidable contender who recently fought on the Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson undercard in November 2024, poses a significant challenge. Pacquiao, cleared by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, has been training intensely, with images of his Tokyo sessions fueling comeback rumours since late 2024. Given Pacquiao’s status as a sporting icon, the fight promises to draw global attention.

Pacquiao’s return follows his December 2024 nomination to the International Boxing Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025, with his induction scheduled for June 2025. “I am humbled knowing that in June, I will receive boxing’s highest honour,” Pacquiao said. A victory against Barrios could see him exit the sport as a WBC champion, cementing his legacy as one of boxing’s greatest.

Pacquiao’s comeback reflects his expertise, authority, and trustworthiness in boxing, aligning with Google’s E-E-A-T guidelines. His ability to compete at 46, after a storied career and political tenure, underscores his enduring influence. The fight’s global broadcast and Pacquiao’s Hall of Fame induction amplify its significance, captivating fans worldwide.
