Manny Pacquiao returned to the ring to score a unanimous decision over champion Jessie Vargas to claim the WBO welterweight title in Las Vegas.
Former eight‑division world champion Pacquiao had announced his retirement after beating Timothy Bradley in April.
The judges scored the bout 114‑113, 118‑109 and 118‑109 in favour of the veteran Filipino.
His former world title rival Floyd Mayweather Jr had a ringside seat.
Mayweather beat Pacquiao to become the undisputed welterweight champion in May 2015 in what was billed as the fight of the century.
Pacquiao returned to what he called his passion after quitting boxing to win an election to the senate in the Philippines.
