Sources: Pacquiao ending retirement to face Barrios for WBC belt

Boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao will end his nearly four-year retirement to face Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight championship on July 19 in Las Vegas, sources confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.

The fight will be available via PBC on Prime Video pay-per-view.

Pacquiao, 46, last fought in August 2021 when he lost a unanimous decision against Yordenis Ugas for the WBA welterweight championship. After the loss, Pacquiao announced his retirement on social media to focus primarily on his political career. But boxing's first and only eight-division world champion has kept an eye on the sport that made him a household name.
