MANILA – Another legendary Filipino fighter is set to return to the ring after Manny Pacquiao officially stepped out of retirement.

Four-division world champion Nonito Donaire Jr. will fight for the interim World Boxing Association (WBA) bantamweight title in Buenos Aires, Argentina on June 14.

The 42-year-old will face a much younger opponent in Andres Campos, 28, of Chile.

“The Filipino Flash is back,” the WBA announced in a social media post.

Donaire, 42-8 (28 KOs), will return to the ring following a nearly two-year absence.

He last fought in July 2023 when he dropped a decision loss against Alexandro Santiago in their World Boxing Council (WBC) bantamweight title fight.

The WBA ordered the Donaire-Campos fight for the interim title after Japanese Seiya Tsutsumi was classified as “champion in recess.”

Campos boasts a 17-2-1 record with six knockouts.

Pacquiao, 46, is set to challenge World Boxing Council welterweight champion Mario Barrios in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA on July 19.

In his last bout August 2021, Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) lost on points against Cuban Yordenis Ugas.

The 30-year-old Barrios from Texas holds a 29-2 card, with 18 KOs. (PNA)
