Boxing legends Floyd Mayweather Jr and Manny Pacquiao are gearing up to face each other again in a rematch scheduled for September 19 in Las Vegas.

Mayweather, now 48, will step back into the ring after years away to meet Pacquiao, 47, more than a decade after their first clash in 2015, a bout that drew global attention and ended with Mayweather winning by unanimous decision.

Pacquiao returned to action in July 2025, battling Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title in a fight that ended in a majority draw.

Their original meeting was billed as one of the biggest fights in boxing history, and this second chapter renews a rivalry fans have talked about for years. Mayweather went on to retire with a flawless 50-0 record after later victories over Andre Berto and Conor McGregor, adding even more intrigue to this upcoming showdown.
