PACMAN PACK-UP NA SA BOKSING

TAPOS na sa boksing si eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.

Sa halip, itutuloy na niya ang pagkandidato bilang ­pangulo sa 2022 national elections.

“Boxing career ko? Tapos na ‘yong boxing career ko,” pag-amin ni Sen. Pacquiao sa “Toni Talks” ni TV host at singer-actress Toni Gonzaga.

“Tapos na kasi matagal na rin ako sa pagboboksing at ‘yong pamilya ko laging nagsasabi na tama na. Nagtuloy-tuloy lang ako kasi passionate ako sa sports na ito.”

Dagdag niya, susuporta na lamang siya sa iba pang mga boksingero upang magkaroon muli ng boxing champion ang bansa.

Nitong Agosto lang nang lumaban at nabigo si Pacquiao na mabawi ang WBA super world welterweight title mula kay Yordenis Ugas ng Cuba.

Samantala, sa ulat ni Mike Coppinger ng ESPN, ­ipinarating ni MP Promotions president Sean Gibbons na hindi pa opisyal ang pagre­retiro ng Pinoy boxing icon.

“In the coming weeks, the senator will decide how he’s going to finish his professional boxing career,” saad ni Gibbons. “After the fight and recently, he’s discussed ­retiring [or] maybe one more [fight]. He’s just talking out loud about different situations.”

Pahabol pa ni Gibbons: “Until you see it officially come out on his Twitter or Instagram, he isn’t retired. Once you see it on a platform like that, it’s ­official. Anything else is just talk about what his thoughts are in the moment. It’s ­coming from him, but it’s hearsay.” (ANN ENCARNACION)
