The post Manny Pacquiao Reveals Timeline For Boxing Retirement appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Manny Pacquiao reveals the timeline for when he’ll decide to walk away from the world of boxing that has made him such a superstar. Pacquiao challenged Lucas Matthysse for the World Boxing Association welterweight title on July 15th, 2018. This fight went down at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that saw him win by TKO.

The career of Pacquiao has been on a roller coaster of a ride. It started once he suffered a devastating loss knockout loss to great rival Juan Manuel Marquez in 2012. Thus, he has gone 6-2 in his last eight fights. This includes dropping decisions to Floyd Mayweather, Jr in May 2015 and Jeff Horn in July of 2017.

Now, he’s slated to fight Adrien Broner on January 19, 2019 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. While speaking with TMZ Sports on Wednesday, the boxing legend confirmed that he will retire in three years (2021).

In recent months there has been talking of Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather for a second time. The first fight between them went down on May 2, 2015, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This bout saw Mayweather win the contest by unanimous decision. Mayweather is supposedly set to fight undefeated kickboxer Tenshin Nasukawa. This bout goes down at Rizin 14 on December 31, 2018 under unspecified rules.

No word yet on exactly when this potential rematch will happen or if it’s just a case of Mayweather trying to get headlines again. It’s possible that Mayweather tries to fight the winner of Pacquiao vs. Adrien Broner next.

“The Pacman” is ready to make his return to the squared circle.

WBA welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will make his return to the boxing ring on January 19th from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Pacquiao will be facing former four-division champion Adrien Broner.

The event will air on Showtime pay-per-view (PPV), and tickets go on sale November 24th and start at as low as $100. Pacquiao had this to say about his return next year (via Bloody Elbow):

”I have missed fighting in Las Vegas, it has been a second home to me,” Pacquiao said. “Returning to the MGM Grand Garden Arena to defend my world title against Adrien Broner is an exciting way to stage my homecoming.

“Adrien is a tough opponent with an accomplished record. But if I have learned one thing while serving in the Philippine Congress and Senate, it is problem solving.”

Pacquiao hasn’t competed since stopping Lucas Matthysse in the seventh round to win the WBA welterweight title. With the victory, Pacquiao has won three of his last four fights. He’ll face Broner, whose last outing resulted in a Majority Draw against Jessie Vargas.

Before that, Broner had a three-fight win streak ended when he was defeated by Mikey Garcia via unanimous decision in July of last year.
