World Boxing Organization welterweight champion, Manny Pacquiao, will return to the ring on April 23, 2017 to fight Amir Khan.
The date was confirmed by Pacquiao and Khan via their verified Twitter handles on Sunday.
“Negotiations between team Pacquiao and team Khan have come to terms for the April 23 bout as this is what the fans wanted,” Pacquiao tweeted.
On his part, Khan wrote: “My team and I have agreed terms with Manny Pacquiao and his team for a super fight #pacquiaokhan #April23rd.”
A venue for the fight is yet to be announced.
Khan’s last fight was in May 2016, when he was knocked out by Mexican Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
Pacquaio retired in April last year, but returned to claim his belt by beating Jessie Vargas in November.
