The rematch, which has been eagerly anticipated by boxing fans around the world, was officially announced by Pacquiao during an event hosted by the RIZIN Fighting Federation on December 31, 2023.


The upcoming fight is expected to draw significant global attention, not only because of the fighters' storied past but also due to the location. Kigali, Rwanda, has been floated as a potential venue, which would mark a historic moment for African sports, positioning the continent as a prominent host for major international boxing events.


In their first bout, Mayweather secured a unanimous decision victory, a result that many felt was unsatisfactory due to its highly defensive nature. Pacquiao, who has since expressed his desire for redemption, sees this rematch as an opportunity to set the record straight and prove his enduring prowess in the ring. Meanwhile, Mayweather, who remains undefeated, is looking to further cement his legacy as one of the greatest boxers of all time.


The exact date and further details about the fight are yet to be confirmed, but excitement is building as both fighters prepare for what could be one of the most talked-about events in sports history. Fans are already speculating on the outcome, with opinions split between Mayweather's defensive mastery and Pacquiao's relentless aggression.


This rematch not only holds significant sporting value but also symbolizes the enduring legacy of both fighters, who have captivated audiences for years. As the world waits for the official details, Kigali stands poised to potentially host this monumental event, highlighting Africa's growing influence in the world of sports entertainment​
