Pacquiao is a living boxing legend, and despite being 46 years old, the Filipino refuses to hang up his gloves.
After drawing with champion Mario Barrios on July 19, ‘Pac-man’ Pacquiao has been ranked as the number one welterweight in the World Boxing Council rankings.
Jake Paul’s red flag sparks fan warning to his fiancée
The update, published on August 8, places Pacquiao just behind Barrios, who still holds the world title.
This change displaces the previous number one, the undefeated Frenchman Souleymane Cissokho, who had led the rankings after defeating Egidijus Kavaliauskas in May.
Manny Pacquiao’s unexpected return to professional boxing
Pacquiao had announced his return to the ring earlier this year, after officially retiring following his 2021 defeat to Yordenis Ugas and since then, he had only participated in exhibition fights, so his return to professional boxing surprised locals and strangers alike, generating enormous expectations to know the fitness and boxing level of the Filipino.
In May, the WBC initially ranked him fifth in its rankings. Curiously, he did not appear in the official lists for June and July. However, the draw against Barrios in a very close fight in which two judges scored it 114-114 and one gave Barrios the advantage 115-113. Numbers that were enough to give him back a privileged place in the category.
Manny Pacquiao’s record
Pacquiao currently has a professional record of 62 wins, 8 losses and 3 draws, with 39 wins by knockout.
Who will be Manny Pacquiao’s next opponent?
Although there is no official confirmation yet, rumors of a possible rematch against Mario Barrios are on the table. Given the evenness of the first fight, a second fight could be well received by both fans and promoters.
On the other hand, the number one ranking does not force Pacquiao to face Barrios immediately, as he can choose any boxer within the WBC’s top 15 ranking, leaving other options open if the Filipino and his team consider another fight more attractive.
With his comeback consolidated and his position as the number one contender, Manny Pacquiao proves that his boxing story is not yet over.

Match of the Day review: Same product, slightly different appearance, but it just felt right
The last time that Match of the Day had a new permanent presenter, Oasis were one of the biggest bands in the country, baggy jeans were fashionable, Arsenal had just finished runners-up in the Premier League and Sunderland were back in the top flight.So, as Mark Chapman will say later, the more things change, the more things stay the same. For 1999 and Gary Lineker, read 2025 and Chapman, Gabby Logan and Kelly Cates, a trio of new presenters who, appropriately for the modern game, will adopt a squad rotation system on hosting duties for Match of the Day’s Saturday and Sunday shows (the MOTD 2 name has been dropped).AdvertisementLineker’s departure after 26 years as presenter gave the BBC an ideal opportunity, if they wished, to revamp the country’s longest-running football show.So what did we get from this exciting first […]

NFL Preseason Week 2 Game Recap: Denver Broncos 27, Arizona Cardinals 7
The Denver Broncos sprinted at a breakneck pace, while the Arizona Cardinals merely jogged. Denver went 97 yards in just over 2 minutes on the team's first offensive drive, opening the scoring in a first-half offensive downpour. The Cardinals responded with a 7-minute touchdown series, but it turned out to be far too little to match the Broncos' high-flying offense. Jarrett Stidham and company also engineered a sub-2-minute, 88-yard touchdown drive later in the half via chunk gains from Troy Franklin and a defensive pass interference penalty. In the end, Denver prevailed by a 27-7 score and racked up 15 plays of 15 or more yards to Arizona's two. PFF's dedicated team of graders was hard at work, analyzing every player on every play in real time. The comprehensive grades and data will be available after a thorough review tomorrow […]
Dodgers step back, let Padres run themselves out of series, NL West lead
LOS ANGELES — There are no secrets between Blake Snell and the San Diego Padres. They leaned on him as they toppled the Los Angeles Dodgers in their most significant postseason series in decades. They got him at his best. His three years there included his second Cy Young campaign before he left to tour with their California-based division mates.Advertisement“They know me so well,” Snell said. “So they understand what the game’s going to be.”With Snell donning a Dodgers uniform against the Padres for the first time, they knew to push the envelope.Take Snell’s 2023 Cy Young campaign, when the left-hander allowed base runners close to free rein. Twenty-five stolen bases were taken while Snell was on the mound, and only one of them was thrown out successfully. It was a rare weakness worth exploiting — if you could do […]
