Manny Pacquiao is getting ready to step back into the boxing ring on July 19. The 46-year-old legend will face Mario Barrios in a world title fight, showing he's not done with the sport just yet.
Pacquiao has won it all in boxing and made a name for himself outside the ring too. He's got nothing left to prove, but he still wants more.
The Filipino fighter did something no one else has done before. He got inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame while training for a world title fight. That's pretty special.
Pacquiao didn't stick around long after the induction ceremony. He had to get back to his strict training schedule. Ryan Songalia of BoxingScene reported that Pacquiao headed back to his room around 11 p.m. ET. His personal assistant, David Sisson, explained they're trying to keep him on a schedule.
People aren't sure if Pacquiao has anything left in the tank. He's fighting a much younger opponent who's in good form. But just by doing this, Pacquiao is achieving something incredible.
The boxing legend is putting everything into this comeback. He's aiming for greatness and doing all he can to make it happen.
At the Hall of Fame induction event, called the Banquet of Champions, other inductees went to the casino to hang out with fans. But Pacquiao stuck to his plan, showing how serious he is about this return to the ring.
