Manny Pacquiao is coming back to the boxing ring to face fellow ex-champion Ruslan Provodnikov this April. After his razor-close draw with Mario Barrios last summer, Pacquiao had been eyeing a number of options.
On Saturday, March 16, 2013, Timothy Bradley Jr. faced Ruslan Provodnikov, looking to defend his WBO welterweight title that he controversially won in the previous fight against Manny Pacquiao.
