Pacquiao Plans 2026 Return; Rolly Romero rumored Opponent

The Soon-to-be 47-year-old Manny Pacquiao Alerted His Millions of Followers Tuesday That He Plans to Fight in Early 2026 on January 24 Against A Mystery Opponent.

Opponent Still A Mystery

Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 Kos) Didn’t say it, but IT’s Secret That’s WB WE WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPION ROMPION ‘ROLLY’ ROMERO (17-2, 13 KOS). That’s The Easy Mark That Manny Is Expected To Face.

A Victory For The 47-Year-Old Philipino Star Would Break for The Oldest Welterweight Champion. It would also send a message of How Poor 147-LB Division is Now.

There’s Only Wbo Champion Brian Norman Jr. And not much Much Else. Going Up Against Norman Jr. (28-0, 22 kos) Would Be A Bad Idea for Manny, As He Has Too Much Power and Talent. Getting Knocked by Norman Jr. Would Be A Bad Way for Pacquiao to End.
