Manny Pacquiao announces fight vs. Errol Spence Jr.

MANILA (Reuters) – Manny Pacquiao will face Errol Spence Jr. on Aug. 21, according to social media announcements from both boxers on Friday.

The 42-year-old Filipino star will end a two-year absence from the ring against the unbeaten American after being inactive since he defeated Keith Thurman to claim the WBA 'super' welterweight title in July 2019.

Pacquiao, who put up a poster for the fight on Twitter, will attempt to add another sensational victory to his record against Spence Jr.
