Watch out, Mike Tyson, you aren’t the only old boxer trying to box fighters in their 20s.
In the course of the RIZIN 47 broadcast final evening (Sat., June 8, 2024), boxing legend Manny Pacquiao introduced that he can be returning to competitors in opposition to RIZIN Featherweight champion Chihiro Suzuki in a boxing match at Tremendous RIZIN 3. The battle will go down on July 28 from inside the long-lasting Saitama Tremendous Area in Saitama, Japan.
Try his announcement under!
Pacquiao isn’t the one boxing legend to battle in RIZIN. Floyd Mayweather already checked that box in 2018.
Pacquiao, 45, has been retired from skilled boxing since his unanimous choice loss to Yordenis Ugas in 2021. Nevertheless, he took half in two exhibition boxing matches in 2022, profitable each. He teased a rematch with Mayweather in January, but nothing has come of that.
A couple of hours earlier than the large announcement, ESPN reported that Pacquiao is exploring a fall title bout vs. Mario Barrios.
Suzuki, 25, has been on an absolute roll as of late, knocking out everyone in sight, together with Patricio Pitbull (watch highlights). He’s at present the RIZIN Featherweight champion and is using an eight-fight win streak, with a no-contest thrown in there.
The Japanese fighter is at present booked to field blended martial arts legend Takanori Gomi at Knock Out 2024 Tremendous Bout: Blaze in Toyko, Japan.
On prime of this wacky boxing match, Naked Knuckle Combating Championship (BKFC) will begin its partnership with RIZIN at Tremendous RIZIN 3.
