Senator @MannyPacquiaoTR confirmed to me he'll return to the ring on Nov 5 to challenge @Jessie_vargasJV for WBO welterweight championship.— Bob Arum (@BobArum) August 10, 2016
The details regarding #PacquiaoVargas promotion will be disclosed at the press conference on Septermber 8 at Beverly Hills Hotel, California.
Manny Pacquiao is the only boxing eight-division world titleholder coming off from a unanimous decision victory over Timothy Bradley Jr. in their third meeting, on April 9 in Las Vegas.
Jessie Vargas (27-1, 10 KOs) agreed to the deal for the fight a couple of weeks ago but waited for Pacquiao's confirmation of the bout.
The 27-year-old champion will be making his first title defense after a very impressive ninth-round knockout of then-undefeated contender Sadam Ali to win the vacant belt on March 5 in Washington, D.C.
