SAITAMA, Japan — Manny Pacquiao will return to the ring in 2023.

Boxing legend, Manny Pacquiao announced on Saturday that he has entered a deal with Japan’s Rizin Fighting Federation to compete next year.

Rizin puts on bouts primarily in MMA, but also kickboxing and boxing.

Pacquiao is likely to take part in an exhibition boxing match following the success of those types of bouts in Japan with Floyd Mayweather.

Pacquiao’s rival, Mayweather has done two exhibition boxing matches with Rizin, in 2018 and in September.

For the latter, Pacquiao was in the front row when Mayweather defeated Rizin MMA fighter and popular YouTuber, Mikuru Asakura.

Pacquiao dominated South Korean martial artist and influencer DK Yoo in an exhibition boxing match Dec. 11 in Goyang, South Korea.

The Rizin event Saturday featured a main card pitting MMA fighters from Rizin against fighters from Bellator MMA.

Bellator swept the five-fight card with rising star AJ McKee taking a unanimous decision win over Rizin lightweight champion Roberto “Satoshi” de Souza in the main event.

Combat sports events on New Year’s Eve has been a tradition in Japan dating back to 2000.
