Manny Pacquiao will step into the ring for the first time since July 2019 when he takes on Yordenis Ugas after Errol Spence Jr has picked up an injury.

Pacquiao (67-7-2, 39 KOs), 42, of Kibawe, Philippines, will make his big comeback in August as he faces off against Yordenis Ugas at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The 42-year-old has not fought professionally since he stunned the boxing world by beating the previously undefeated Keith Thurman back in July 2019.

That victory saw Pacquiao claim the WBA (Super) welterweight title until being stripped by the WBA in January 2021 due to inactivity with Yordenis Ugas being elevated to the status of WBA (Super) welterweight champion.
