Manny Pacquiao targets historic record
Legendary Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao (62-8-3, 39 KOs) is setting his sights on a showdown with current WBA lightweight champion Rolando Romero. All in pursuit of a record-breaking feat.
Details: According to Pacquiao’s advisor Gibbons, the main goal is to set a historic milestone and become the oldest world champion in boxing history by capturing a title at 47. Pacquiao has already claimed world titles at an advanced age, but now he’s determined to surpass his own record.
After a controversial loss in a WBC title bout—where his team questioned the judges’ decision—Pacquiao has shifted his focus exclusively to high-stakes, legacy-defining fights.
If this bout takes place and Pacquiao defeats Romero in December 2025, his name will be forever etched in boxing history.
