Manny Pacquiao is bringing the Pacquiao name back to the US boxing scene, announcing the full fight card for his promotional debut on November 29 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California.
At the top of the card, Lorenzo Parra will face WBO International featherweight champion Elijah Pierce in the main event. Venezuela’s Parra (23-1-1, 17 KOs) goes up against Oklahoma City’s Pierce (21-2, 17 KOs), with the winner positioning themselves closer to a showdown with reigning WBO featherweight champion Rafael Espinoza.
The co-main event carries a special significance for the Pacquiao family: Jimuel Pacquiao, Manny’s eldest son, will make his professional debut against Chicago’s Brendan Lally. Following a three-year amateur career, the 24-year-old trains at the famed Wild Card Boxing Gym under Marvin Somodio. Lally, also making his professional debut, is a collegiate national champion who discovered boxing in college and quickly devoted himself to the sport.
Other notable bouts on the card include:
