Manny Pacquiao is set to return from retirement at the age of 45.
That’s according to Sean Gibbons, who is the president of Pacquiao’s promotional company MP Promotions.

The legendary eight-weight boxing world champion quit the sport in 2021 with a record of 62-8-2 following his loss to Yordenis Ugas.
He has since climbed back into the ring for exhibition bouts and is set to do so again on April 20 in Thailand.
After that though, Pacquiao intends to return for real.
“Technically he’s out of retirement,” Gibbons told BoxingScene.
“He would love to fight Gervonta Davis, Ryan Garcia.
“He’s got about a year left. He just wants to fight.
“Manny feels that he’s in tremendous shape. He’s training for this exhibition but hopefully that will lead to something bigger and better.”
Pacquiao ran for president in his home country of the Philippines when he retired but was not elected, hence his desire to fight again.

Gibbons affirmed: “I do [expect him to fight in professional boxing again].
“One of the fights that people talked about for a long time was Manny Pacquiao vs Conor McGregor.
“That’s something that will be sensational in Saudi Arabia, let’s go. It will be a good place to do it. It’s really simple.
“His Excellency Turki Alalshikh, [chairman of Saudi’s General Entertainment Authority], loves big events, and he’s putting on the best events.
“It’s a very intriguing and fun fight bringing two of the biggest names together in combat sports.”
