I have agreed to a November 5 fight with reigning WBO welterweight champion Jessie Vargas,” he said. Vargas was one of three names in the mix to face Pacquiao in November, alongside WBC welterweight champion Danny Garcia and WBO/WBC super-lightweight boss Terence Crawford. Pacquiao walked away from the sport in April after outpointing Timothy Bradley to focus on his political career in the Philippines. When Boxing News spoke to Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, recently, he revealed that Vargas was the most likely choice and that he wants Manny to fight Crawford in the early stages of 2017.
