WBA "regular" welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is hoping to keep his knockout streak going.
As previously reported on BoxingScene.com Pacquiao is ready to get back in the ring in the United States for the first time since 2016 — against four division world champion Adrien Broner.
Pacquiao announced Thursday at a news conference in Manila that he wants to defend his secondary welterweight world title in January. The fight against Broner, which Pacquiao indicated is “90 percent” done, and he expects it to be held in Las Vegas on either Jan. 12 or Jan. 19.
“If I can finish it earlier than seven rounds, why not,” said Pacquiao, who is the only boxer in history to win world titles in eight weight classes.
