Manny Pacquiao Says Return to Boxing Goes Beyond Comeback Fight: 'The Book of Politics Is Closed'

Manny Pacquiao, aged 46, announced his boxing return starting July 19 in Las Vegas against WBC champion Mario Barrios after a four-year hiatus.
Pacquiao ended his political career as a former senator and presidential candidate to focus fully on boxing again, citing numerous distractions during 2021.
He trains with Freddie Roach in Los Angeles, feels physically refreshed, and intends to break his own record as the oldest welterweight champion.
Pacquiao stated, "Right now, the book of politics is closed," and affirmed, "I can still do my job in boxing," reassuring fans despite past setbacks.
His return signals a long-term boxing commitment as he prepares for the fight to be streamed worldwide on Amazon Prime and celebrates upcoming Hall of Fame induction.
