Boxing icon Manny Pacquiao will strut his wares once again as he battles Japanese MMA fighter Chihiro Suzuki in a three-round exhibition bout next month.
The match between the former eight-division world boxing champion and Suzuki is set for three minutes per round and will be held on July 28 at the Saitama Super Arena in Japan.
Pacquiao, 45, will finally step into the ring after his exhibition bout against Muay Thai legend Buakaw Banchamek was cancelled last February.
“Finally next month I’m fighting here in Japan, and I hope everybody will watch,” Pacquiao announced.
“This is gonna be a good fight,” he added.
On the other hand, Suzuki is a professional MMA fighter, who holds a 13-0-3 record with seven tri
umphs via TKO.
