Pacquiao to face Provodnikov in April return bout

  • On April 18, Manny Pacquiao will return to the ring in a 10-round welterweight exhibition against Ruslan Provodnikov at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
  • After ending retirement last year, Manny Pacquiao again chose the exhibition format for the April match, continuing a showcase approach to boxing.
  • Ruslan Provodnikov, nicknamed `The Siberian Rocky`, is a former WBO junior welterweight champion with a 30-5 record and has sparred with Pacquiao at Wild Card Gym under Marvin Somodio.
  • Promoters Indistry Media and Banner Promotions said tickets on Pacquiao's site start at $150 for the exhibition, which extends his boxing shelf life after the Barrios draw.
  • Entering the exhibition scene in 2022, Pacquiao's third showcase features Provodnikov, who last fought in 2016 and served as his sparring partner, creating an unusual matchup.
