Pacquiao to make ring return against Vargas - report
 

Manny Pacquiao will take on American World Boxing Organisation welterweight champion Jessie Vargas when he returns to the ring on **vember 5, according to the Filipi** boxer's manager Michael Koncz.

"Retirement doesn't suit Manny right **w," Koncz told the Los Angeles Times of the former eight-division world champion.

"Boxing is in his blood. When he trains, it's like a pressure-release valve. You can see a dramatic difference in his mood... he's happy. It's amazing what training and fighting does for him."

Pacquiao (58-6-2) had an**unced his retirement after defeating Timothy Bradley in April and was elected to the Philippines' senate in May. His promoter Bob Arum an**unced last month that he would fight again in **vember.

Arum tweeted earlier this week that he would travel to the Philippines for a meeting on August 10 to discuss the 37-year-old southpaw's return.

Koncz, who will also attend the meeting, said the trio were **t discussing a potential opponent, but whether to stage the bout in Los Angeles or Dubai.

"That's the essence of the meeting," Koncz added. "**t choosing the opponent. That's already been done."

Pacquiao's unanimous decision win over Bradley was his first fight in nearly a year after his tame loss to Floyd Mayweather. He had said he was bringing the curtain down on his career to concentrate on politics and his family.

The 27-year-old Vargas (27-1) beat fellow American Sadam Ali in March to claim the WBO welterweight crown and has won 10 of his bouts via a k**ckout or stoppage, with his only defeat coming via a points loss to Bradley in June 2015.
