Manny Pacquiao to face Thai legend Buakaw Banchamek in April 2024

Despite rumours suggesting a bout between Pacquiao and Davis, the Filipino legend's next opponent will be Buakaw Banchamek, the Muay Thai and Thai kickboxing legend.

Manny Pacquiao will face Buakaw in a fight dubbed 'The Match of Legends' on April 20th at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. The fight will take place under international boxing rules and is scheduled for six, three-minute rounds. Between every round, the fighters will receive two-minute breaks.

The winner is also expected to receive a cash prize of at least 10 million baht.

It's unclear what 'PacMan's' plans in the sport of boxing are. He is currently 45 years of age and doesn't have a lot of time left. It's likely that he will pursue one last fight as a retirement bout of sorts and then call it time on a truly legendary career.
