El Campeon Mundial Welter de la OMB expondrá su titulo frente al Británico Amir Khan el 23 de abril.
Las dos partes llegaron a un acuerdo despues de que los seguidores de Pacquiao en Twitter eligieran a Khan como el oponente ideal para la proxima pelea del filipino.
Esto es lo que los fanáticos quieren, dijo Pacquiao de 38 años.
Khan de 30 años de edad, tambien confirmó la pelea, pero pese a que Pacquiao habia dicho que su proxima pelea seria en Emiratos Arabes Unidos, aun no se ha dicho en que lugar será el pleito de abril.
Khan fue noqueado en su ultima pelea por Canelo Alvarez en mayo del 2016, Mientras que Pacquiao habia anunciado su retiro en abril del año pasado, despues de despojar de su actual titulo a Jesse Vargas en noviembre.
WBO world welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao will fight Great Britain’s Amir Khan on 23 April.
The bout has been arranged after Pacquiao’s followers on Twitter voted Khan as the opponent they would like to see the Filipino fight next.
«This is what the fans wanted,» Pacquiao, 38, said on social media.
Khan, 30, also confirmed the fight but, although Pacquiao has said his next fight would be in the United Arab Emirates, no venue has been announced.
Speaking on a social media video, Khan said the UK, Dubai and US were being looked at as possible locations and that they «should find out in the next couple of days».
The Briton, who won silver as a lightweight at the 2004 Olympics, beat compatriot Kell Brook, Australia’s Jeff Horn and American Terence Crawford with 48% of the vote carried out by Pacquiao.
Khan’s last fight was in May 2016 when he was knocked out by Mexican Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
Six-weight world champion Pacquiao retired in April last year but returned to claim his belt by beating Jessie Vargas in November.
