The event is on Saturday.\n\nPacquiao, at 46 years old, seeks to break his own record as the oldest boxer to win a welterweight title, a feat he achieved at 40 after defeating Keith Thurman in 2019.\n\nIn his last fight, in 2021, Pacquiao failed to show his best form against Yordenis Ugas, losing by unanimous decision. Ugas outperformed Pacquiao in total punches, jabs, and power punches.\n\n<h2>Fundora vs. Tszyu: The Rematch for the Titles<\/h2>\n\nIn the co-main event, Sebastian Fundora will defend his WBC and WBO super welterweight titles in a rematch against Tim Tszyu. Despite being the champion, Fundora enters as the underdog after his split decision victory in March 2024.\n\nIn the first fight, Tszyu suffered a cut above the hairline that changed the course of the fight, despite having won the first two rounds.\n\n<h2>Usyk Seeks to Consolidate His Dominance in the Heavyweight Division<\/h2>\n\nOn Saturday, at Wembley Stadium in London, Oleksandr Usyk, WBC, WBO, and WBA champion, will seek to reaffirm his status as undisputed heavyweight champion in a rematch against Daniel Dubois, the IBF title holder.\n\nUsyk defeated Dubois by knockout in the ninth round in August 2023.\n\n<h2>Betting Analysis: Tips for Fans<\/h2>\n\nThe return of Pacquiao, a boxing icon, generates great expectation. Given his age and time away from the ring, betting on a decision in favor of Pacquiao seems the most sensible option. Pacquiao is expected to offer a competitive fight.\n\nRegarding the Fundora vs. Tszyu fight, an intense battle is anticipated. Tszyu, with his skill and unpredictable punches, could spring a surprise.\n\nFor the Usyk vs. Dubois fight, Usyk is the clear favorite. If Dubois fails to hurt Usyk early, the fight will favor the unified champion.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fmedia%2Fmotion%2F2023%2F0826%2Fdm_230826_DM_BOX_USYK_KNOCKOUT%2Fdm_230826_DM_BOX_USYK_KNOCKOUT.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\nOleksandr Usyk knocks out Daniel Dubois to retain his titles.\n\nUsyk (-340) vs. Daniel Dubois (+260)\n\nUsyk has proven to be a complete and constantly improving boxer. Dubois has power, but if he can&#8217;t hurt Usyk early, the fight will lean in favor of the unified champion. Betting on Usyk to win by decision (+185) could also be a valuable option.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pacquiao Returns to the Ring: Analysis of the Most Anticipated Fights The legendary Manny Pacquiao returns to the ring after four years of retirement to face Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
