The news was made known by the boxer himself through his re des socials, where he published the event flyer, which was answered like this by Errol: “ Deal done. See you in Las Vegas for the biggest fight of the year “.
Pacquiao is looking to win another world title , as he did in his last fight against Keith Thurman in July of 2020.
The Filipino was moved to champion in the break when it was deemed that he could not defend his championship , which led to Ugas being promoted to “super champion” of the WBA.
Errol is coming off a unanimous decision to beat Danny Garcia at woolenweight at the end of 2020, and will defend his belts for the third time. The fight will be broadcast via PPV.
