According to FightNews Manny Pacquiao and Tim Bradley are poised to face each other in a rematch on April 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The press tour will start next month with LA and New York as stops. More details will be revealed next week.
Pacquiao, who turned 35 in December, is coming off November’s unanimous decision over former 140-pound titleholder Brandon Rios, who made his welterweight debut.
Bradley (31-0, 12 KOs) won his last two fights by rising from a 12th-round knockdown to unanimously decision Provodnikov in March of last year before earning October’s split-decision over Marquez, who is 1-2-1 against Pacquiao.
