Manny Pacquiao’s Timeless Legacy: WBC Supports His Welterweight World Title Bid

Manny Pacquiao is a timeless legend in the world of boxing, and despite being 45 years old and not having stepped into the ring since his 2021 defeat to Yordenis Ugas, the World Boxing Council (WBC) has thrown its support behind his bid for a welterweight world title. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman believes that former champions like Pacquiao have the opportunity to fight for a WBC championship if they pass all necessary medical examinations.

Sulaiman referred to Pacquiao as timeless and a legend, expressing his belief that he could still be competitive with any fighter in today’s boxing landscape.

Fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the outcome of negotiations and the chance to see Pacquiao back in action. Despite Pacquiao’s age and time away from boxing, Sulaiman believes in his ability to compete at the highest level and potentially add another chapter to his already legendary career. With the possibility of witnessing a boxing icon like Manny Pacquiao aiming for one more championship reign, fans are excited about what could be a historic moment in the sport.
