Pacquiao challenges Mayweather to a Boxing rematch

By Farouk Mohammed

Manny Pacquiao said he wants to rematch Floyd Mayweather, as he challenge the five-weight world champion to come out of retirement, BBC reports.

He had previously said he “cannot retire with peace of mind” without a rematch.

Pacquiao lost to Mayweather in 2015 by unanimous points decision, but has since regained a version of the world title, okay reports.

“Get back to the ring and we will fight again if he wants,” Pacquiao said after he beat Adrian Broner on Saturday.

Pacquiao retained his WBA world welterweight title with a convincing unanimous points win over the American in Las Vegas.

“If he wants to come out of retirement, then announce it and challenge me. I’m a champion and I don’t pick any opponent,” Pacquiao said after the fight, which 41-year-old Mayweather attended.

“My message is I’m still active and if he goes back to the ring and wants to challenge me, I’m a champion.

“I’m just waiting to see who will challenge me, who will challenge [for] my belt.”
