The boxing world is buzzing as Manny Pacquiao and Amir Khan have officially confirmed their clash at the O2 Arena, London in August 2025. This match is not only a battle between two excellent boxers but also a spectacular comeback of a legend, facing off against one of the fastest boxers in boxing history. Can Khan’s speed overwhelm Pacquiao’s experience? Or will the Filipino legend once again prove his class?
After hanging up his gloves in 2021 to focus on his political career, Manny Pacquiao surprised fans by deciding to return to the ring. At 46 years old, many people doubted the ability of “Pacman”, but with his iron will and perseverance, he has never backed down from a challenge.
Pacquiao is one of the rare boxers to own championship titles in 8 different weight classes, something no one else has done. The battles with Floyd Mayweather, Juan Manuel Márquez or Miguel Cotto have proven that he is one of the greatest legends in the boxing world. This match with Khan is not only a physical challenge but also an opportunity for him to affirm his reputation once again.
Amir Khan, a former world lightweight and welterweight champion, is famous for his extremely fast hand speed and flexible movement techniques. Once a training partner of Pacquiao under the training of Freddie Roach, Khan understands the fighting style of the Filipino legend better than anyone.
With the advantage of being 10 years younger and having better physical strength, Khan has the opportunity to create a big shock if he takes advantage of his agility. However, his biggest weakness is his weak defense, having been knocked out in fights with Canelo Alvarez, Danny Garcia and Terence Crawford. If Khan wants to win, he must keep his distance and avoid being drawn into Pacquiao’s close-quarters style.

This match will be a confrontation between speed and experience. Here are the key points that can decide the outcome of the match:
✅ Pacquiao has the advantage in experience, stamina and the ability to apply constant pressure.
✅ Khan has the advantage in punching speed, flexible movement and youth.
If the match goes on, Pacquiao can take advantage of his toughness to wear down his opponent. On the contrary, Khan will have to fight with a “hit and run” strategy (attack and retreat) to avoid Pacman’s dangerous counterattacks.
Prediction: This could be an exciting 12-round fight, and will likely be decided by points. If Khan can keep his form and avoid punches effectively, he could pull off a surprise. But if Pacquiao can maintain his speed and stamina like in his prime, a points victory or even a knockout is entirely possible.
🔥 The return of the legend – Pacquiao has retired, but this comeback has the world excited.
🔥 The confrontation between the old master and the old disciple – Khan trained with Pacquiao under the guidance of Freddie Roach, now they will face off.
🔥 Unpredictable drama – One side is rich in experience, the other side is speed and youth.
Regardless of who wins or loses, the match between Pacquiao vs. Khan will be one of the biggest boxing events of 2025. This will not only be a battle between two talented boxers but also a test to see if the legendary Pacquiao is still in shape to conquer new challenges?
