Pacquiao relishes comeback fight against Barrios

Manny Pacquiao says he is done with politics, and he's back in boxing to stay.

Pacquiao's ring return at 46 years old is not just for one farewell bout, either: The former eight-division world champion intends to fight on indefinitely.

"Right now, the book of politics is closed," Pacquiao told The Associated Press on Tuesday, June 3, in Los Angeles. "It's not even in my mind. I'm focusing on my career as a boxer again."

The comeback starts July 19, when Pacquiao returns from a four-year layoff and attempts to break his own record by becoming the oldest welterweight champion in boxing history. The former senator and presidential candidate in his native Philippines will take on WBC champ Mario Barrios in Las Vegas.

As Pacquiao's fame and fortune grew in the previous decade, he added a second career as a politician to his already busy life. He was a senator from 2016 until 2022, when he finished third in the Philippines' presidential election.
