Pacquiao vs. Spence heads to Las Vegas

The showdown between Manny Pacquiao and WBC and IBF world welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. is heading to the 20,000-seater T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, United States on August 21.

Previous reports suggested that the fight may land in Dallas, Texas, but organizers of the bout ultimately chose the boxing capital of the world as its venue.

Pacquiao, 42, is currently training in General Santos City. He last saw action against Keith Thurman in July 2019 where he won via split decision to claim the WBA world welterweight title.

Spence, meanwhile, last fought in December when defeated Danny Garcia by unanimous decision. He holds a perfect record of 27-0 with 21 knockouts and is the favorite to win the bout.
