Manny Pacquiao will defend his WBA world welterweight title against Adrien Broner on January 19 in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao has held world titles in eight divisions from flyweight to light-middleweight and is set to continue his glittering career in what will be his 70th professional contest.
The 39-year old had been linked with a return bout against rival Floyd Mayweather, as well as a showdown against British fighter Amir Khan, but has announced he will instead take on Broner.
Pacquiao captured a secondary welterweight crown – Keith Thurman is the WBA’s Super champion – by stopping Lucas Matthysse in the seventh round of their fight in Kuala Lumpur in July.
The Filipino improved his record to 60 wins, seven defeats and two draws, but is 5-5 in his last 10 professional contests.
