This weekend offers a packed schedule for boxing fans with multiple significant bouts. The headline match features Manny Pacquiao, who is back from retirement at 46, taking on Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title. Also on the cards are the heavyweight showdown between Oleksandr Usyk and Daniel Dubois for the undisputed heavyweight championship.
Usyk aims to reclaim his title after being stripped due to contractual obligations regarding a rematch with Tyson Fury. While he won their previous encounter, he faces formidable competition in Dubois, who is coming off a strong performance against Anthony Joshua.
Pacquiao, although a celebrated fighter, is contending with age and inactivity, which could be challenging against the younger Barrios. This match might test the limits of Pacquiao’s legendary career as he looks to overcome significant odds.
