Manny Pacquiao will end his four-year retirement from boxing to face current WBC welterweight champion, Mario Barrios, in a 12-round title fight this Saturday night (July 19, 2025) on Prime Video from inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Before then, “Pacman” and “Azteca” took the time to field questions from the media earlier today (Weds., July 16) during the pre-fight press conference (see video
here), and took part in their first fight-week staredown, which you can see in the embedded video player above.
Co-headlining the event, WBC super welterweight champion Sebastian Fundora will rematch Tim Tszu, while Isaac Cruz and Angel Fierro will also fight for a second time in super lightweight rematch following their initial fight earlier this year, which saw Fierro upset “Pitbull” via unanimous decision.
