The world of boxing returns to ESPN+ on Saturday, July 14, with Manny Pacquiao getting back into action. Pacquiao is set to face off against Lucas Matthysse in the main event at Axiata Arena in Kuala Lumpur. The two men will be battling it out for the WBA ‘regular’ welterweight world title.
It is the first title defense for Matthysse, who won the belt against Tewa Kiram in January, while Pacquiao is returning to action for the first time since losing the WBO welterweight world title to Jeff Horn in July 2017.
On the undercard, Carlos Canizales vs. Lu Bin takes place for the WBA regular junior-flyweight world title, Moruti Mthalane vs. Muhammad Waseem goes down for the IBF flyweight title, and Jhack Tepora takes on Edivaldo Ortego for the interim WBA featherweight title.
