In January, the former world champion in eight weight categories Manny Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) will have an exhibition fight with Muay Thai world champion Buakaw Banchamek.

The fight is scheduled for six rounds in the intermediate limit up to 70 kg. At the same time, the Filipino does not exclude that in the coming months he will also have an official fight.

Pac-man recently negotiated with Conor Benn, but in the end they didn't lead to anything. Pacquiao did not box for two years, and in his last speech he lost on points to Yordenis Ugas. In the spring, the Filipino lost in court to the management agency Paradigm Sports and now must pay a total of more than $ 8 million for non-compliance with the terms of the contract.
