Manny Pacquiao announces next fight

Manny Pacquiao vs Lucas Matthysse

MANNY PACQUIAO has announced his return to boxing.

He will box Argentinaโ€™s Lucas Matthysse on July 15 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

It is a world tour of sorts. Pacquiao hasnโ€™t boxed since a surprise defeat to Jeff Horn in Australia last year, which saw him lose his WBO welterweight world championship.

โ€œItโ€™s on! Canโ€™t wait to challenge Lucas Matthysse for another world title on July 15 in Kuala Lumpur, Malyasia – July 14 US time,โ€ Pacquiao declared.
