Boxing stars Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have reached an agreement over a professional rematch, more than a decade on from their "Fight of the Century" bout in Las Vegas.
News of the match-up comes after Mayweather announced he would come out of retirement earlier this week, a fourth such decision.
For Mayweather, now aged 48, the clash against Pacquiao will be his first return to a professional ring since beating MMA fighter Conor McGregor back in 2017.
Pacquiao, 47, has been in action as recently as last July, when he was defeated by Mario Barrios.
Following the announcement of the fight, set to be streamed on Netflix, the duo revealed when the event would take place.

This September 19th, the pair will face off at Sphere in Las Vegas.
Pacquiao will be on the hunt for revenge from the pair's 2015 clash, where his rival Mayweather emerged victorious, winning via a unanimous decision.
Manny Pacquiao gave the following comment after the announcement: "Floyd and I gave the world what remains the biggest fight in boxing history.
"The fans have waited long enough. They deserve this rematch.
"I want Floyd to live with the one loss on his professional record and always remember who gave it to him."
Mayweather said: "I already fought and beat Manny once. This time will be the same result."
