Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao<\/a> look set to do battle once again.<\/p>\n

It was announced on Friday that Mayweather plans to return to professional boxing later this year<\/a>, following his exhibition with Mike Tyson, which is reported to take place in the Congo in April.<\/p>\n

Another exhibition bout that has been recently announced is a clash between Pacquiao and former world champion Ruslan Provodnikov, which is also set for April at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Once those two contests are done, Mayweather and Pacquiao are now on course for a second clash, reported by The Ring that<\/a> they look set to meet in September.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao rematch is being planned for September, with The Sphere in Las Vegas being looked at as a possible venue, sources tell @MikeCoppinger.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth are slated to compete in exhibitions this Spring prior to meeting in the ring.\u201d<\/p>\n

The rematch between the legendary duo was first reported late last year, ten years on from their historic fight.<\/p>\n

Mayweather claimed a unanimous decision victory on that occasion, and would go on to compete for another two years before retiring in 2017 with a perfect 50-0 record, meaning it will be nearly a decade since he last fought professionally by the time he returns.<\/p>\n

As for Pacquiao, he returned back in July 2025 at the age of 46 when he fought to a draw in a WBC welterweight title fight with Mario Barrios<\/a>, but will now be 47 for the proposed clash with Mayweather, who turns 49 this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao look set to do battle once again.
