Legendary vs The Best: Manny Pacquiao faces Errol Spence Jr in Vegas on August 21

Its about to go down on August 21, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA as the legend Manny Pacquiao prepares to box one of the best Errol Spence Jr.

Even though the Filipino Senator is close to the end of his boxing career, he still has the elite mentality to call for a fight with one of best pond-for-pound boxers who is arguably the best welterweight in the world.

Manny Pacquiao, 42 was last seen at office in 2019, July where he faced the then undefeated Keith Thurman in a WBA Super world welterweight title clash at the MGM Grand, USA. Pacman in the fight knocked down Thurman in the first round en-route to a split decision win for the full time Senator winning the WBA Super Welterweight strap in the process.

After that fight, COVID-19 broke out in early 2020 which made it difficult for Pacquiao to return to the ring, WBA hence stripped him of the title after he was rendered as inactive.

The Unified (WBC & IBF) Welterweight champion,  Errol Spence on the hand after winning the WBC title via split decision over Shawn Porter in one of the best fights of 2019, got into a horrific automobile accident that forced him to be on the shelf for nearly 15 months.

Spence after that recovery period showed no sign of weakness at all after he emerged victorious over Danny Garcia via a lopsided decision to remain the unified welterweight champion.

Despite both tested enough of their reign in the welterweight division, this fight will arguably prove a lot more who is king over the hottest division in boxingdom.
