Pacquiao to make ring return against Vargas – report (Reuters)

(Reuters) – Manny Pacquiao will take on American World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Jessie Vargas when he returns to the ring on Nov. 5, according to the Filipino boxer’s manager Michael Koncz. “Retirement doesn’t suit Manny right now,” Koncz told the Los Angeles Times of the former eight-division world champion. It’s amazing what training and fighting does for him.” Pacquiao (58-6-2) had announced his retirement after defeating Timothy Bradley in April and was elected to the Philippines’ senate in May. His promoter Bob Arum announced last month that he would fight again in November.
