Will Six Divisions World Champion Manny ‘Pac Man’ Pacquiao, in 46, breaking the former champion of “Veliki” George Foreman about winning the world title at 45. years?
Current VBC World World Garteroight Champion Mario ‘El Azteca’ Barrios, 29-2-1, San Antonio, Texas, negotiates the defense of the title against Packuyao in June or July.
Barrios had the last defense in November 2024. year, which ended up in Split drawing Abel Ramos, 28-6-2, at AT & T Stadium, Arlington, Texas. It was also a previous fight for Ramos. What seemed to be the reason for the rematch did not develop.
The last fight Pacquiao was in August 2021. years, losing from Yordenis Ugas, 26-4, in T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada. In September 2023. year, Ugas lost Barrios for the VBC temporary world world light in T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Foreman, then 72-4, still keeps the elderly as the oldest to win the IBF World Heavy Champion Michael ‘Double M’ Moorer, 35-0, on MGM Grand, Grand Grand Garden Arena, Nevada.
The only second boxer to win the world title for 40 years or older was “Ruby” Bob Fitzsimmons at 40. years. George Gardner, 38-4-3, more than 20 rounds, was beaten, on the pavilion, San Francisco, California.
Will the “man dog” become the third, not only to win the world title for over 40 years, but the oldest in 46?
