Pacquiao-Bradley rubber match set

Filipino boxing icon and eight-time world champion Manny Pacquiao will return to the ring on April 9 in Las Vegas to take on Timothy Bradley for a third time, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum said on Wednesday.

The bout will take place at the MGM Grand.

While Pacquiao has spoken of retiring after an April fight to pursue his political career, Arum said the bout will not be promoted as Pacquiao's last.
