Manny Pacquiao, The eight-weight world champion is set to return to the ring for the 69th time after a year’s absence as a professional on Saturday night when he faces hard-hitting Lucas Matthysse at the Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
As he approaches the age of 40, the fighter who was once considered the greatest boxer on the planet was last seen losing a controversial unanimous decision to Jeff Horn in Australia, July 2017.
Pacquiao’s boxing career plays second fiddle to his political quests in recent times as he has become a senator in his home country.
His opponent, Matthysse, on the other hand, is fresh from a January win against Thailand’s Tewa Kiram
