Pacquiao is the only pro boxer to win world championships in 8 different weight divisions
We all know the People’s Champ put Philippine boxing on the world stage. But did you know that PacMan is an octuple champion? From 1998 until 2019, he has won major world titles, with nine coming from the WBA, WBC, IBF, and WBO.
He’s still at it with an impressive work ethic at 42
The record-breaking athlete is still at it even 26 years after his pro debut.
His long-time trainer Freddie Roach shares that Pacquiao’s work ethic remains “as good as it was 20 years ago”. The legendary boxer has been doing 30-32 rounds of sparring a day, compared to the 25-28 rounds he did in his 2019 fight with Keith Thurman.
He continues to inspire Filipinos, sports fans, and even famous personalities
As seen on the news, the world-renowned athlete has been attracting huge crowds as he trains at Wild Card Gym and around Los Angeles. NBA stars Klay Thompson and Jordan Clarkson, Black Eyed Peas’ apl.de.ap, YouTubers Logan Paul and Supercar Blondie, and even his former rival Miguel Cotto are just some of the famous supporters of the legendary boxer.
This could be the boxing icon’s last fight
With a possible bid for the presidency, this bout might be the last chance to see PacMan in the ring. Watching the comeback fight of one of the greatest boxers of this generation will definitely be history in the making!
