BOXING: Mayweather and Pacquiao Set for September 19 Rematch in Las Vegas

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao are set to meet in the ring once again, with their rematch scheduled for September 19 in Las Vegas. It brings back one of boxing’s biggest rivalries almost ten years after their first encounter.

Their first fight which was staged on May 2, 2015, was dubbed the ‘Fight of the Century’, and ended with Floyd Mayweather Jr. winning by unanimous decision. The result settled the debate for some, but not for everyone, as many hoped to see a second meeting.

Now, boxing fans will get the rematch they’ve been waiting for. Manny Pacquiao has long expressed interest in facing Mayweather again, and this bout finally gives both men a chance to revisit the story.

Though both fighters have past their peak, their names alone are enough to draw global attention. The announcement has already sparked wide excitement across the boxing world.

With September 19 confirmed, fans will once again watch two icons share the spotlight at the MGM Grand Arena — hoping this chapter delivers the action many felt was missing from the first fight.
