Manny Pacquiao, the country’s Pambansang Kamao, finally agreed to return to the ring and face long-time rival Juan Manuel Marquez for the fourth time.

According to a report by Reuters on Thursday, Pacquiao is eyeing a December 8 bout if ever negotiations between the two camps hammered out.

It can be remembered that Pacquiao’s victory over Marquez in November last year was very controversial. Sports critics believed the winner of the said bout should have been the Mexican fighter.

But Pacquiao is determined to prove himself and settle the controversial victory once and for all by airing his desire to fight Marquez again before the year ends.
