Kosport Magazine Exclusive: Manny Pacquiao Announces Return to the Ring Against Chihiro Suzuki
After a brief hiatus, former eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao has announced that he will be returning to the ring for an exhibition fight against Chihiro Suzuki. This will be Pacquiao’s first fight since his retirement in 2021 and fans are eager to see him back in action.
Pacquiao has been mulling over the idea of a comeback and has set his sights on one last run for a world title. But before he does so, he must first prove himself against Suzuki in this exhibition bout under the RIZIN banner next month in Japan.
Suzuki, the current RIZIN champion, is no easy opponent, having defeated formidable names such as Patricio ‘Pitbull’ Freire. However, Pacquiao’s boxing skills are expected to carry him through the three-round exhibition match.
During the announcement in Tokyo, Pacquiao expressed his excitement for the fight and hopes that everyone will get to watch it. He then shared an intense face-off with Suzuki, adding to the anticipation for the upcoming match.
But this is just the beginning for Pacquiao. He has his sights set on a world title fight at the end of the year against Mario Barrios. After five years of minimal damage in the ring, Pacquiao is confident that he still has a lot to give to the sport.
Barrios, the interim WBC welterweight champion, is no stranger to Pacquiao’s previous opponent, Yordenis Ugas, as he defeated him for the title. If the match with Pacquiao goes as planned, it will be a momentous achievement for Barrios to face and potentially defeat an icon in the sport.
Fans are already buzzing with excitement for Pacquiao’s comeback, and it seems that the boxing legend is not done making history yet. We at Kosport Magazine can’t wait to witness his return to the ring and see what the future holds for this talented and determined fighter. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting development and keep an eye out for Pacquiao’s next move in the world of sports.
