From the Los Angeles, California report, in his return to boxing after four years without a fight, Manny Pacquiao says he has more “passion and determination” than ever.
According to the report, the 46-year-old Filipino star says his disciplined training regimen will help him shine in the ring Saturday and defeat World Boxing Council (WBC) welterweight champion Mario Barrios -- a fighter 16 years Pacquiao’s junior -- in the main event at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas (5 p.m. PDT, Prime Video; Sunday morning, July 20, PH time).
The report said: It’s my passion, and the fire in my heart, in my mind is still there,” Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) said in an interview with The Times at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood. “I can still work hard in training, and I can still fight.”If he wins, Pacquiao would make history in many categories: Second oldest champion in boxing history, after Bernard Hopkins became the oldest at 46 years and 126 days by beating Jean Pascal in 2011; oldest champion in a division below light heavyweight; and only active champion to be part of the Hall of Fame.
In addition to the report, Pacquiao noted that one of his goals in his return to boxing is to become the oldest fighter in boxing alongside trainer Freddie Roach, extending an illustrious career in which he has won titles in eight different divisions. The Filipino is the only boxer to conquer and retain titles during each of the past four decades.
