Boxing legends Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are set to renew their rivalry with a highly anticipated rematch scheduled for September 19 in Las Vegas. The bout will take place at the state-of-the-art Sphere, marking the first boxing event hosted at this immersive venue located east of the Las Vegas Strip.
Mayweather, who is approaching his 49th birthday this week, recently declared his plan to return from a nine-year retirement to compete once more. Meanwhile, Pacquiao, 47, who ended his own four-year hiatus last year, is preparing for a secondary comeback fight against Ruslan Provodnikov on April 18.
The specifics regarding the weight class and fight duration remain undisclosed. This rematch will be the first time the pair has faced off since their legendary 2015 bout, which Mayweather won by decision.
Despite the outcome, the fight remains one of the most profitable in boxing history, setting pay-per-view records and capturing global attention.
Pacquiao, holding an impressive record of 62-8-3 with 39 knockouts, has expressed confidence he can finally defeat Mayweather in this rematch.
The event promises to reignite the decades-long rivalry between two of boxing’s most prominent figures, nearly 11 years after their first encounter, which was highly anticipated but ultimately fell short of expectations at the time.
