As Manny Pacquaio makes his long-awaited return to the boxing ring, David Beckham and Alicia Keys will be among the stars who will be ringside in Macau.
According to Metro.co.uk, former England and Manchester United star Beckham is a big fan of the multi-weight world champion, who is fighting for the first time since last December when he was stopped in the sixth round by Juan Manuel Marquez.
