Manny Pacquiao went to see a small group of Filipino boxers getting ready for their respective world title bids over the weekend in Las Vegas.
The day after attending the Gervonta Davis against Ryan Garcia lightweight duel, Pacquiao visited the training camp site of Jade Bornea and Vincent Astrolabio.
The house was also converted into a gym by Sean Gibbons, who looks after the welfare not just of Bornea and Astrolabio but of ex-world champion Jerwin Ancajas and two-time world title challenger Jonas Sultan.
Astrolabio fights for the vacant World Boxing Organization bantamweight versus Jason Moloney of Australia on 13 May in Stockton, California.
Bornea, meanwhile, gets his chance at the big time when he faces International Boxing Federation super-flyweight king Fernando Martinez of Argentina on 24 June in Minneapolis.
Pacquiao was toured around by Gibbons and the eight-division legend event went up the ring to test the floor cushion, fueling speculations that the 44-year-old southpaw is indeed on the way to staging a comeback.
Last time he saw action, Pacquiao dropped a 12-round decision to Yordenis Ugas of Cuba at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in August 2021.
