Pacquiao to come out of retirement

Filipino boxing icon Manny Pacquiao confirmed that he will come out of retirement to fight WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas on Nov. 5 in Las Vegas.

Before his last fight in April, the 37-year-old Philippines senator said he would retire. During the campaign for the May 9 election, he assured Filipino voters that he would focus on legislative work if elected to the Senate.

Pacquiao said he would conduct his entire training camp in his home country so he can also attend to his legislative work, as he promised during the election campaign.
