Manny Pacquiao isn’t done yet. Fresh from his comeback fight against Mario “El Azteca” Barrios in Las Vegas last month — which ended in a nail-biting majority draw — the 46-year-old says he’s likely fighting again in December. The announcement came during a chat with veteran sports journalist Dyan Castillejo after his quick Italy getaway.

Comeback Fight Showed He’s Still Got It
On July 19, Pacquiao went 12 intense rounds for the WBC welterweight title at the MGM Grand. Judges couldn’t agree, leaving the bout a draw and fans buzzing. Despite the split decision, Pacquiao’s speed, footwork, and relentless pressure proved that age hasn’t slowed him down much.

Before the fight, 30-year-old Barrios playfully called him “that old man.” After the match, that nickname didn’t seem to stick — Pacquiao’s conditioning and grit impressed even skeptics. In his post-fight interview, he looked sharp, lean, and ready for more.
No Opponent Yet, But Buzz Is Building
Pacquiao hasn’t named who he’ll face or where the fight will happen, but the December tease has fans and promoters talking. Whether it’s his last dance or another chapter, one thing’s clear — Manny’s still a contender.
